I get it and understand 'core competency'....
They'd continue making the SAME drivers in the same manner as now.
The object is a Vallue Added reframe build which at first may offer only 2 or 3 woods. It would require ONLY a small shop. Maybe 500sqft to 600sqft. That is? 20x25 or 20x30. You'd need some tooling which can be Leased.
Magnepan works on the 'wear many hats' model, if I know my manufacturing. You may have a dedicated shipping / receiveing 'group' but production must be flexible and willing to work any number of stations. I am 100% certain that opportunities exist to cut costs and increase production without adversly effecting quality or output. I did that kind of thing for a living for 20 years.
In the long run? Quality IS free, just like the book title.
If they are at capacity and any deviation from keeping the boat bailed out results in insolvency? Somebody needs to reevaluate the business model. I'd like to know some things. Like scrap rate? Rework rate? Employee turnover? I'd like to see the quality program data. I'd go into the company and pretend to be an ISO Auditor. I was thru bunches of them over the years and got pretty good at it. I could care less about stuff like the 'organizational chart' which is nearly meaningless. How does stuff REALLY get decided? Are they running 24-7 or 2 shifts or ???
Nothing but opportunity.
Too much is never enough
