manzov22 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Are you guys running full yet? Back to normal operations? Same numbers as before you went down for aluminum body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Nope! Vendor supply problems. Mainly wire looms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks for the update. Our schedule showed pre aluminum body numbers and then a new plan came out and it dropped. I was wondering why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Is ktp scheduled to work alot of super staurdays and sundays in the 4th quarter? I saw a flyer from mgt and wondering if that was real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 We have 11 scheduled. The first one has already been cancelled. They are all tentative depending on parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thats funny. At the rate this launch is going, i bet they all get canceled. All we here is that there is a ton a vendor issues. Its honestly comical that they didnt have this stuff ready 8 months ago. Its not like they didnt know it was coming. Clown show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waloud Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Say around 1450. Rumor last night was that the seat factory had a fire. We only went 8hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatso Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It is very important to 'take it slow' and get it right.KTP is building very important product for FoMoCo the overtime will come eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Is ktp getting more layoffs between now and Christmas? 1 minute its scheduled ot then next theres no parts, then tlos. Can anyone verify the rumors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We are scheduled every weekend from now until Christmas. Every week it's a guessing game. Last weekend was the first one we worked, probably had 5-6 weekends canceled. Hearing 2-3 weeks of layoff at Christmas & C crew SUV paint & body layoff.

manzov22 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks for the update. We keep hearing vendor issues. Then the manufacturing plan comes out with 9 hrs on it. Then it changes over and over. Seems like a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 They canceled this weekend at the end of shift on Thursday. It's a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 How did they get it all wrong. I just dont get it. They knew the launch was coming. Unreal how this company operates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 To many new suppliers. Trying to save a dollar. At least now we are getting enough parts to run production! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 So at this point ktp has enough parts to run 1450 -f250 trucks a day? No more real supplier issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Our manufacturing plan came out Tuesday and it shows us now 8 hrs for all next year. None of this makes sense to us. We make about 800 axles a day. If ktp is making 1450 f250s a day, we are wondering how they are keeping up. We are wondering if they are buying axles from another place.

waloud Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I haven't heard any news on production after the first of the year. Your numbers are pretty close to what we are running. I haven't heard of any new vendors for axles. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Are you guys working any super sats or super sundays? I seen that they were scheduled but kept getting canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We have been working an extra shift every weekend for the past 6-8 weeks. A crew have been working every other sunday & B crew every other Sat. night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manzov22 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 We are hearing the there is a new beefier axle made by dana for the f250. Have you seen an axle like this? We keep hearing they are going to start using an 11" gear instead of the 10.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i see anyone I will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
