 Action Plan :
On order 41Cr4 : Discussing with Mukand
Expected Date : 45 Days from Order date
Re Introduction : April 15th
Request :
Various customers are using various standards specified,
but the basic chemical composition are same.
On that process we totally loose the opportunity of flexibility,
Hence we would humbly request you to consider equivalent
material in future, to ensure availability of uninterrupted
supplies.
We would like to submit our working drawing mentioning all
the equivalent for your approval to have flexibility for us to
manufacture.
Assurance :
Sorry for the inconvenience.
