Ides
of March
Just
to get back to that "whole thing" thing. As it turns out, there was
someone else "home at the time", Colleen, and " Yes, the surge
in demand coming could be handled with the existing capacity". This
evidence is stored in the Cost/Capacity model.
One
meeting was held based upon possible increase in drum demand. Mike Seaberg, the
Engineer, Beth Caman the new Accountant, Colleen and myself took about half an
hour to determine we were
in
good shape. Colleen said, "the cost/capacity model shows we have
sufficient capacity", flashing a
few
charts. Hey, end of story. Colleen used this Cost/Capacity model for her MBA
studies at the “Simon School”, so hey, we must have been right.
Just
so you know though, the battle about demand still rages on with the worthy
opposition taking the position that Manufacturing should begin to build, now,
as much as a whole week and a half (4,000 hours) to satisfy "on-coming"
demands. Say’s we, so far, "NO".
