I wonder if they decreased the takt time. Numbers have been good lately

They are definitely pulling punches

Both sides have a lot to lose. No one wins in a prolonged strike.

Ya, On average the only real gain in any strike is to tell the employer you are willing to strike.

Ok, so your car was built a week ago Friday finally! Have you asked what status it is now, if's if through quality control, bayed and now showing 4200 shipped?

Salesman says not shipped yet but I haven't got the current event code yet

4150 as of today

4150 as of today

Invoiced. That's usually a good sign. They don't invoice the dealer unless it's ready to ship.

The factory needs to average 155 stingrays per day for my car #2482 to be built this week

Denis, I am trying to find out what happened with the start of Z06 production yesterday? With all the 2024 focus on Stingrays now, the daily numbers are way up and if they have the parts available they should be able to do over 155 a day to reach your car by Friday.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

Focus right now is clearing out the 2023 Z06's and getting them shipped before starting the 2024's.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

Source inside the factory said a few Z06's being built this week.

 

[DenisC8]

The factory needs to average 162 Stingrays per day for my car #2482 to be built this week

...Mondays and Fridays generally being best. How come? It may just turn out that most workers don't get totally wasted on the week-end, but actually relax, and that on Friday, the prospect of relaxing on the week-end makes people happier and thus more motivated to do a good job.

For some entertainment and history on this subject, I found this was a fun article .....

Do cars primarily built on a Monday or Friday have lower quality?

In his 1971 book Wheels, Arthur Hailey claims that cars that were primarily assembled on a Monday or Friday would suffer from quality problems due to worker performance/absenteeism issues associate...

Looks like my car #2482 will not make it this week but what is couple of days in the grand scheme of things.
