Oh I've been down that road before, the stories I could tell just on that subject alone. Had a call 10 minutes before final inspection once
saying they forgot to purchase two cots at a total of $7.500.00 and the deal was off without them! Thank god for demo's still it was not
fun having to deal with my bosses ripping me for having such a large ticket item added, when I had nothing to do with it. Oh well.
The issue is with a new product never built before there are so many unknowns I think you need a slush fund just for such emergencies.
I went thru this on a special dive unit once and we used every part of $20,000.00 slush fund in changes even after throwing in items.
A new design is a tight rope for any salesmen to walk and I truly sympathize with them on those projects. It's too bad for the most part
the departments and manufactures don't appreciate everything the salesmen does on these type of projects.
