Good ol' Remington.

I ordered a stock for my H&R, waited a week and it's the wrong one. I just called them and they are sending the right one, next week, cause the factory is shut down this week for inventory. It's gonna be a long two weeks, to see if they do get it right. I can't take the suspence.

They told me they couldn't approve my order for a new 357 barrel until next week. I have worked for several retail companies and known several others that do their inventory and still get their job done. I thought a factory would be even easier. But they are still going to make time to mess up my nice, crisp trigger pull.

Many retailers today contract out their inventory taking. People in smocks running around the stores during regular hours with little scanners.

Not all of them. I've done my share of hand counts with pad and pen in hand. Customers still got taken care of.

Not so my friend, a factory has to inventory completed units, work in progress, and to what stage of completion, as well as parts on hand to build products.  Then the factory gets to inventory all maintenance and operational supplies, as well as plant assets, and capitol assets.  Retail is the easier end of it.

Yep...a factory is not nearly as easy as a retail.  Plus...their tax's are dependent on an accurate count.

Sounds like they need to consider hiring the guys with scanners and smocks!

I'm not angry or anything. I'm in no hurry to get my stuff back. It just caught me off guard to hear that any business in the country would shut down for a week for any reason...other than the Chevy Volt plant.  I have very little experience working in a factory setting. When I did, it was building huge commercial dehumidifier units. There were never more than 30 units being worked on at any given time. Nothing that couldn't be taken care of by a small crew pulling an all-nighter.

I've worked in food processing, metal production, and appliance manufacturing factories where down time in each was measures from $10K/hr to $15K/ minute.  Inventory was anywhere from three or four days, to ten days.  These plants all had acres of concrete under roof.  Small shops have it much easier, just due to the volume.

I worked for over 15 years in an automotive supplier. We made injection molded nameplates, grilles, headlamp housings and body side moldings for all the big 3 plus toyota, mitsubishi and others. These went through the molding, plating and painting process and parts in all stages had to be counted. We only shut down one saturday for all of this. If you keep track of all parts through all stages it isn't really that hard to do.
