    To clarify, the line had not been handed to production yet. However, a change like this takes time. A typical new program launch takes something like 2 years between initial request to start of production. Obviously, sourcing and integrating one machine doesn’t take that long. But any new part requires that every machine be re-evaluated for quality on that new part and the line as a whole needs to be re-tested. Even if the design change is small.
