That's all I look at as well. At this point I treat sales as WIP. I know the term is not used from a manufacturing perspective to represent what I call it, but the sales will take care of themself at some point. But everything starts with production. If Ford can maintain 13-15K a month, we are looking at over 120K Broncos produced by the end of June, which theoretically gets Ford to meeting the original order demand. Speaking of WIP, if I go back to my production days in CSD, you can not count a unit produced until everything is met. So if the truck is missing a chip, it would fall into the WIP category.To be honest. The number I look at is production and even though it's up, it's still not as strong as I'd hope to see. Would have hoped they would have gotten closer to 15,000 a month.
However, I do wonder how many Broncos have collected on Ice Mountain at this point. I really thought we would start seeing sales surpass production as they released some of them.....
