Other Points:
- We only manufacture the actual parts we used along with any specialty items.
- We know that many of these parts will be required before we know the game so manufacturing can begin on day one. (pillow blocks, bearing holders, corner brackets, etc)
- We can maintain an inventory of usefull "off the shelf" parts (bearings, fasteners, pulleys, gears) which minimizes lead time.


It works for us ....................
