Logistics Of Scheduling Production

I did see workers there on a saturday in January. However, it was only one saturday. The same week they were working 2 shifts, but as of last monday at shift change there were not 2 shifts, based on my conversation with people waiting to pick up a worker.

"based on my conversation with people waiting to pick up a worker."



This is what you are basing your investment decisions on? A comment by somebody you do not even know that is sitting in a parking lot of a business where they do not even work? Sorry, but if you want your posts here to have any credibility at all you will need to offer more support than that.

I/we appreciate you might be trying to provide info here, however it appears you are only muddying up the waters. Like any successful investor here, when some one tries to offer info here, I check into their posting history to see if they might be a reliable source or not. Your posting history is sketchy at best.

There is also many inconsistencies in your posts. Chief among them is issue of them working Saturdays or not. I suggest that whether they work a Saturday or not is not relevant. They have the ability to work 3 shifts during the week. In many manufacturing plants in Michigan the workers get time and a half wages for Saturday work. This obviously costs the company more money so they only schedule Saturday production as a last resort to meet demand.

Having worked for General Motors for 31 years, I know that there are many intracies and logistics to shaping production schedules that we investors on this message board will never be privy to or aware of. Some days you might not work at all, then 2 days later they want (or even require) you to work long hours of overtime. Kind of crazy but that is the automotive business.

The biggest reason for this variability is parts availability and shortages. No parts, no work. Many times over the years, I have seen 1,500 workers sitting around idle because production is shut down due to the shortage of 1 key critical part. This problem is compounded by the auto companies adoption of Just In Time Delivery. They used to store parts in warehouses, but now rely on a smooth running last minute delivery system. Some times it bites them in the butt. They have even had snow storms upset delivery schedules. I have even seen GM land by helicopter at the plant a computer technician to Michigan all the way from California because their robots would not work and no one else could figure out why.

Trust me there are all kinds of issues, reasons and logistics to scheduling any kind of manufacturing operations that we are and never will be aware of. That is what management is for, so let them handle it.
