The purpose of this post is to be the extension of Blair Mott's post as how and where all the parts come from to make a Force Fin meet The Barry Amendment requirements.
I would respectfully like to hear input from the Fin Doctor (Bob Evans, Blair Mott, Meesier42, Uncleavi, Susanne, etc to get passionate about their Force Fin involvement and process as how a force fin is assembled, yet not giving all the secrets. How the material is picked and how much material is used to make one fin also how many pounds of material is used. also pounds of fuel and furnaces needed for the baking process. From raw material to packaging and shipped out to stores or customers.
You can add how many pairs of special fins are made at one time, any additional processes that are taken to make the tan delta materials. I know you always wanted to talk about the Tan Delta line and why they justify a higher price, Bob. So now you have the floor.
How many plants there may be and if those plants are designed to make certain models. If customers can order a custom fin and what is the process and what plant it is sent. How many overall employees are hired and what positions and general number of employees on each of the needed positions. For example, assembly line/ quality control/ shipping and receiving/ inventory/ personnel to shape and trim the new fins to the final shape of the force fin.
Are there any manufacturing techniques that you may do to try to keep pollution to a minimal that may outshine other manufacturers in the US? Such as recycling, etc?
What is the quality process behind the fins? What makes a fin not pass and what are the quality control looking for? How are these personnel picked? How are the fins tested/ How long and how many testers?
With those customer cards that comes with your products when purchased. How important are our comments/concerns. Please give examples as maybe what product in the force fin line might have been addressed from a customer in order for you to make a new creation in your force fin line.
Finally, how has the economy has affected your manufacturing, your numbers of sales and how will you fight it out and what can the consumer do to keep the remaining American companies here and alive.
I would like you all to think about this because I am certain that this post will be a next big hit. Please take your time in answering and to all that is anticipating this thread and to those that are going to put in their inputs let's see what Force fin can deliver.
