Six months to understand and learn. If you’re completely new to MFR and Supply Chain, it will take you about that long to start understanding how to think and ask the proper things. This is also about how long it will take to build up rapport with the shop floor crew.

Six months should give you time to fully unwind the dependencies of everything. And learn the history and context of decisions.

You will be working with guys who have been welding metal longer than you’ve been alive. Guys who have machined parts longer than the internet has been around. This is a deep, deep field. Six months is pretty quick.
