Default Re: DRL Question

They are turning out a lot more than 25 per day. Even if the plant was running 365 days per year, that is only a little over 9K units per year. They are sellling upward of 40K H3s per year. Actual plant days is probably around 250 depending on weekend builds and units required.
The labels on the components are added by the manufacturer, and the Shreveport plant is on the Kanban system, so that date is only good for the actual part build. Depending on where that axle is built, it could have been shipped to the plant the actual day it was manufactured by AAM. (Not sure where AAM's plant is for that particular axle.)
H3 Builder step in if I'm incorrect. I'm assuming Shreveport is similar to Spring Hill with the Kanban system.
