Automotive manufacturers plan production based on a 'pull' system that is defined by days supply. If the dealership days supply exceeds a certain number, such as 90 days, the factory will shift production to another vehicle that has a lower days supply to maintain dealership inventories.
If the X152 has a consistent days supply over a number that JLR and the dealerships feel comfortable with, production will be discontinued until the days supply comes down to a predetermined level. The production line doesn't just close down and sit idle, but continues with another vehicle. Most lines can change over to another model with three to five hours with little difficulty. The challenge is to let the component suppliers know ahead of time so they can adjust their inventory levels as well to match production demand.
I hope this helps.

I am personally quite familiar with the "Just in Time" MRP & ERP model you were hoping to position but in this case, you probably should have started your statement above with the term "Generally, Automotive production..." as it appears that your statement may have been complete BS...
Since I'm from Birmingham, I must see the production line next time I'm visiting family in Solihull.

The F Type is built at Castle Bromwich.
When my wife and I did the tour we were the only ones booked so I asked to see the F Type Line only. We got a personal 3 hour tour. The building where they stamp out the body panels is mind blowing... see the video link I posted.
I hope you can get to go.

big change for '19 is the 10" Touch Pro Screen.
Per Jag Canada
Following the mid-cycle refresh from 2018MY, changes introduced with the 2019MY program are relatively minor, but bring the following:
Engine / Lineup changes:
o Deletion of the 400 Sport Special Edition – as noted in the 2018MY bulletins, this program was a one-year only Special Edition
Exterior updates:
o Re-introduction of the 20" 5 Split-Spoke 'Style 5039' wheel with Gloss Black finish: this wheel is optional on all trim levels excluding the SVR. Was previously known as the 20” Tornado – Black at 2017MY and earlier
o Deletion of the 20” 5-Spoke ‘Style 5060’ wheel with Dark Grey Diamond Turned finish: this wheel was exclusive to the 400 Sport Special Edition and not carried forward
o addition of the P300, P340 and P380 Badges – signifying rounded horsepower output
o SVO Premium Paint Palette made available
Interior update:
o Delta Aluminum Console finisher (already standard on R-Dynamic trim) will now also be available as an option F-TYPE and R trims
Infotainment:
o Standard 10” Touchscreen (replaces 8” Touchscreen)
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems:
o standardization of Lane Keep Assist, Driver Condition Monitor and Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed Limiter
o introduction of optional Blind Spot Assist

This is reflected in the *current* UK configurator, which I'm pretty sure is the MY19 one, as I noticed that part of the URL for the UK configurator includes '/f-type_k19/' (rather than '/f-type_k18/' which is contained in the current US MY18 configurator URLs).
Wish they'd go back to just naming the wheels!
These low production 'limited' edition specials (like the sport 400) just aren't that special, so I'm not sure why they do them tbh.
And yeah, the new touchscreen appears to be the biggest change, no doubt for the better.

I am quite familiar with the production systems as well, but if you feel it's 'BS', that is certainly your right. I honestly am not going to get drawn into any sort of 'forum debate'.
Since I'm from Birmingham, I must see the production line next time I'm visiting family in Solihull.

2019 F-Type Availability
I have been trying to order an F-Type since December, 2017. At that time the dealer told me that the production window for 2018's was closed and I would have to wait for production for 2019's to begin. January came and went, and now we are halfway thru February. I did put a deposit down but was told that the factory has not begun accepting orders yet. However, the dealer did send me some 2019 Jaguar F-Type documentation. "Production Job#1 is January 2018, On sale: Estimated Spring 2018, First Order Call: To be announced by Distribution".
The base car's MSRP will be increased by $850 for the 340 HP model. Model designation will be based on horsepower, so the 340 HP model will be logo'd P340. They will continue to offer a manual, which is what I want to order. Pricing for almost all of the previously available options continues, all pretty much unchanged in price. I plan on going to the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto on Friday. I will see if Jaguar has any North American execs there who can give me any more information and will put up a follow-up post.

@Bill.
I went to the San Francisco Auto Show where they had a ton of NA Jag execs, and I told them of my situation, they were mostly clueless as to when 18's were done and 19's where to begin order taking. Good look with them and let us know, My dealer is telling me, my 19 order for an F Type R MY19 goes in March (we are almost there) and I'm one of the first in the queue, we shall see!
On a good note, car will be worth it and I can't wait for my baby!

KarimEls - I had two dealers tell me pretty much the same thing (18 production over & waiting for window on 19's to open). My local dealer is pretty spotty about keeping me in the loop, tho, which is unusual for someone in the retail auto business, and who has a deposit from me.
Maybe someone at the Toronto show can give me something more definitive to go on this Friday.

Towards the third quarter of the 2018
On 2/8/2018 I sent an email to Jaguar via their website asking " WHEN will my dealer be able to order 2019 F-Type coupes. ".
They responded today with:
With the 3rd quarter starting in July that means waiting to possibly June, 4-ish months from now to place the order.
Bill
They responded today with:
We anticipate your authorized Jaguar retailer will be able to order a 2019 Jaguar vehicle towards the third quarter of the 2018 year. I do apologize we do not have an exact date.

Hi DJS,
Chuckle, Chuckle. I assumed the BS applied to Jaguar
I am not 100% confident in the credibility of the Jaguar people that respond to email. Months ago I sent them an email asking a question about their fancy, colorful, 115 page soft covered book "Jaguar F-Type 2018, The Art of Performance" that I got from the dealer. The person that responded had no idea what book I was talking about.
I'll nag my dealer on March 1st.
