[QUOTE="bobcat_ron, post: 22073, member: 1066"] The managers didn't pay enough attention to the housing market in 2008, they thought it would rebound and another natural disaster would happen, so they ramped up production big time with an expectation that they would be called upon to supply mass amounts of compact equipment, so now every machine has some extra employee over time hours on it and they are selling for the same price, profits stay the same, costs go up big time and nothing gets balanced. The costs of keeping factories running at peak production and mega over time are huge, that's what will kill any company. If they would have better managed the situation, maybe by cutting production and costs, and even going as far as cutting hours of each employee down, they would have done better, YES, they would have still suffered, but they wouldn't have been the first to shut down. It is a common problem in today's work force, an old saying “Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians”. If Deere shuts down, we are really screwed. [/QUOTE]
