I have uploaded some decisions for Round 6 to get us started for Monday Night.  If everyone has the opportunity to run numbers on each segment again that would be great!!
 
  1. Currently the Proforma Income Statement is showing close to 30 million dollars with a balanced scorecard number of 76.2 if we were to sell out. 
  2. You will also see that there is about half of the investment that we made last year on capital on the production page.  Although we would like to keep this at zero if at all possible, I do think it is important that we keep our capacity at a level where we can reach the demand that we forecast for round 7 and 8 using both 1st and 2nd shift.  If we don’t have enough capacity in those two rounds then we are just giving those sales to others.  Also our return on units we sell should be higher than the cost of capital.  As long as we continue to get our max points on debt structure, I don’t think this investment will hurt us.  I think the ability to tap the demand over the next three rounds is very important as most other companies may not be able to produce enough units to meet demand. 
 
Have a great weekend!!

I was looking at the Traditional this afternoon and even with two
products, we should really do well for round six in this segment.
Talk to you all tomorrow night.

I assume we are going to take the same strategy (no pun intended) as last round and each person take a segment and be ready to make recommendations for production and sales forecast.

I'll be prepared with Size. Talk to you tomorrow night.

Great.  Thanks for the quick summary Beau.  I agree on the investment piece.  Lost sales would be to costly to us now and our increased market share is what in the long run will allow us to overtake Baldwin.

We closed the gap another 3 cummulative points on Baldwin. We are now 5 points total behind Baldwin with two rounds to go. We need two more good rounds!!!

I have uploaded some new numbers to give us a start.

See you all tonight
