Podcast 20 .... Finally a positive timeline! As
Post# of 75001
Finally a positive timeline! As I stated before; with my Anhueser Busch experience I knew that most allocations of the raw materials for production runs in the U.S. have to be planned out, forecast, and ordered approximately four to six months in advance. I was just wondering how they where getting allocations in front of the big boys; especially Crown USA, Ball, and Metal Container Group(which is owned by A.B.) already booked.
FYI ... these companies plus a few more make all the cans for ever drink co out there!!!! Just imagine all the beverages and brands you can think of ... and energy drinks too!!!!
It was then pointed out to me that they have contracted out with a local co-packer to help expedite their runs .... which is fine for the actual time frame for the canning(production) process; but everything else for that can run has to be allocated and timed to match up to make it all happen on a certain date!
Even Anheuser Busch gets things screwed up every now and then!
But 2019 is now looking really good for 2nd and 3rd quarter earnings!!!!
