I guess I should have been a little more delicate with that statement. I didn't mean each furnace would be 6 weeks×2000. I figured they would be addressed in groups as opposed to individually.
In your opinion, if you can....conservatively, how many do you think they could manage to do at once, in an effective reasonable manner? Without disturbing the current process (if it is still going on)?
I'll split the difference on your crew size estimate...we will say 4 members.
Is there someone(company) who could provide, lets say, 100 individuals who are experienced in this type of delicate machinery move? At 100 crew members, that would be 25 furnaces at a time.
Would each group of 25 furnaces need to be monitored from start to finish by the same crew? In other words, do they dismantle and reconstruct?
So that group of 25 would take approx 6 weeks from start to finish. It would then require 80 such productions to complete the move.
I'm not positive how this move would take place, so it could be 1000 workers doing 250 furnaces at a time.
Either way, it would take no less than 6 weeks from the start date of moving to the stage of producing in China?
I'm just trying to figure out the logistics of how such a move would work and how long the entire operation would take if all 2000 were to be moved. More importantly, how feasible and cost effective such a move would be
