I just had a discussion with SIA. It seems FKK /DAC quoted the same price as they did on HR3 ($52). It was said that FHI does not believe their design will meet the specifications, but FHI said they will work with them to improve. As I said before, we expect this price to increase to accommodate the design changes needed to improve but there is no update given to SIA.
I voiced my frustration to SIA. If the specification is not needed to be met, FHI needs to communicate this to NSK. This is only fair to be judged by the same requirements. SIA agrees but they have no power on this. They say FHI is pushing to FKK due to price.
We need a clear voice from FHI, not separate voice from Purchasing and Engineering. Can you please get their strategy in the future?
