I can tell you first hand what is happening at this particular site and it is not pretty. Employee moral is very low. Like I said earlier they went into winter shutdown early due to embedded particles in the glass they were receiving from thier vendor. This is not the first time this particular vendor has been on the hot seat. Here is the most disturbing news other than the "bad" vendor, 30 lots to rework for some type of quality issue during the shutdown. That is alarming. The quality department is short handed, manufacturing is short handed and maintenance is short handed. There was a new piece of equipment (Homogenizer) that was brought in for testing. We were told it was new technology and if it worked out it would replace the homogenizers already there. Well guess what, it was slated for Vizaq, India all along. Couldn't hide that fact either becuase reps from Vizaq were in the plant and they point blank told us. I beleive you when you say the some US plants will shutdown.
This answers a lot of questions. I heard the HSP fleet drivers had to all drive back mid route to the dc's and pw's. All that man power and money wasted. I'm assuming it was something very serious. It was the perfect timing too because Baxter just went on a nationwide backorder for NS, 1/4ns, d5w. Pathetic. This could be potentially a huge problem.
