Chris: What exactly has to be fixed?. The problem as I see is as follows: a: TDM a high Margin product line with excess capacity but unsteady orders. b: ATM/IP a lower margin product line with a shortage in capacity but increasing orders on a near demand basis. It would seem appropriate for them to a: Subcontract TDM production on demand to an Outside Agency(ex Employees)whilst allowing them to use their facilities. All original staff could be laid off. Q/A and Inspection should be retained by NN. b: Step up ATM production using 2 shifts where necessary. Such reorganisation should not take 9 mths (3Q's). Under dynamic Leadership on the floor, it can be done in 3 mths.
