Kanya, Yes, I believe that end 2016 to 1st quarter 2017 will be the time that rapid qualification is ready to be implemented to maintain the projected production schedule. The dots continue to line up.

This will require a rapid ramp-up in production rates: around 100 engines are scheduled to be built this year, jumping to 500 in 2017 and 1,100 in 2018, heading for a target of 2,000 a year by 2020. Total LEAP orders have now exceeded 10,820.

“With a backlog of more than 13,700 engines, the biggest challenge we face over the next few years will be to produce the engines at record levels while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect,” CFMI president and CEO Jean-Paul Ebanga noted.

Projected production will ramp up from 1900 fuel nozzles by year end 2016 to 9500 fuel nozzles by end of year 2017. That's a lot of nozzles to go through post inspection; thus, I'm thinking in-process monitoring and qualification will be needed by next year for sure. I quote Markiewicz
“There’s a big difference in making 100 in a lab setting to making 30,000 annually at the Auburn production plant,” explains Markiewicz. “This is the first major, high-volume product from the additive program, but certainly not the last.”
