[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1705212, member: 35314"] This. I'm no expert in manufacturing, but they likely have 2 scenarios when the missing parts come in. A - Use them as part of your standard inventory so the assembly line keeps moving and completely trucks. Any excess...pull vehicles from the unfinished lot into the plant to complete. Not sure if this requires them to go back through the line, but I imagine they can't be finished in the parking lot. B - Use the parts for the unfinished lot first. So that means all the vehicles you currently are producing will go to the unfinished lot, since you don't have the parts to complete those. That's extra cost. You may even need to shot down your production while the unfinished vehicles get completed. Extra cost. And you likely have doubled the number of customers who are upset about delays...although probably not as delayed and upset. While FIFO makes good sense for inventory, it's probably not at all efficient when it comes to production in this case. But I am guessing. [/QUOTE]
