@m5040 Nice job on the part!
I have some sympathy for folks trying to stock parts on hand, keep them organized, have the capital tied up in the parts, the labor to keep it running, etc. Folks like Honda gets to make a million parts more or less continuously, at pretty low cost, but not everyone is so fortunate.
I can't say enough about how helpful the folks at Power Trac have been over the years. A+ in my book. I was on a call with them recently and someone trotted out into the warehouse two separate times double checking parts for me.
I was involved in making low volume gizmos and it drove me nuts trying to get our production runs up to the point where we could start to get price breaks on parts, thereby lowering the cost of our gizmos. Larger production runs tied up more capital, making it more expensive for us. I think that it is a definitely a case of "being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea..."
All the best,
Peter
