I'm having a hard time getting my head around Witty's statement that SGLB's technology would not be utilized until full production is achieved. I certainly understand the part about it being a productivity enhancement under full production. What I don't understand is the wait. After being tested in their facilities for three years now, one would think that they would begin using it earlier in the ramp up to full production. Sometimes software that might work perfectly in one-off situations might have faults in volume situations. I would think that GE would want to be utilizing SGLB software all during the ramp-up period to be certain that when they do achieve full production they are 100% confident in it's performance . This would seem a more prudent approach than waiting for full production to commence it's utilization and discovering a fault of some sort. There's probably a logical explanation, but it escapes me. Perhaps one of you engineering types can enlighten me.
