Traditional Low End Size
Units Produced vs. Units Sold• Units produced was based
off a calculation of our current market share increased by 2-3% with the new market forecast
• Invested in automation early• Exceeded competitors by 0.5
• Mitigated labor problems
• Invested in benchmarking
• Capacity didn’t follow industry demand or production• Low end was a constant
guessing game
• Focused on high ROA in traditional and size
• Looking forward:• Traditional largest success
• Increase investment in size and high end
