    This probably has more to do with the uncertain economic outlook. I'm not necessarily referring to the Russian invasion..I'm referring to the current inflation and coming rate hikes. They are fully aware the demand will probably drop some....no one knows how big that drop will be. The last thing they want to do is to get caught with a bunch of money tied up in IP, engineering and parts they can't move. Smart for them to slow downs and take a breather and see where things go. This is not about listening to the consumer....it's about their bottom line and long term projections, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

    Quoted from Mtkst19:

    Is stern running 1 or 2 assembly lines? I would think that with the back log they could run 2 lines yet can they find enough employees to run 2 lines not to mention fulfill parts/raw materials.
    I'm a nerd for efficiency and manufacturing. Id love to see the ins and outs of their assembly line/supply etc. Balancing act as you are juggling ton of variables. Can you keep enough parts to run 1 line let alone 2. Because a line goes down due to parts shortage you have employees that are hourly.
    Think ford. Model t took 12 hrs from start to finish on assembly line when 1st introduced. Through streamlining the process, by end of production run it was down to 90 minutes.

    They run 2 physical lines in the plant, but they are not duplicates. They have different tasks set for each station. They will often run one pin on one line and a different pin through the other stations.....thus working on 2 or more themes at the same time.\
