Hi AquaeS,
My error, so also sorry if offended, you are correct about warehouse size, my original numbers were based on what we believed the Winclove order size was, we knew roughly how many batches had been produced and how many boxes in a batch.
Stacking sizes on euro pallets differ to uk, and the actual height each pallet is stacked does make a difference to warehouse capacity. However I came to the rough conclusion that the original order size was 250k one months supply. We also know that we are Wincloves second biggest customer and with a probability of becoming the largest.
It does hinge a bit on how many months supply Stuart wishes to hold in stock per subscriber, believe I went for less months than you did originally, think I went for 5, this was giving some flexibility as I know production facilities are rarely available at less than 3 months planning.
We knew it was going to be a soft launch, but not the time duration of that soft part, I believe it was flexible, as they needed to iron out all the kinks and flaws in the service. Also its been showed that it was the right approach as by all accounts they had a lot more problems than posted on here.
Personnel was another issue.. just to much workload to handle and why they have already been interviewing for extra staff.
So plans are all done and USA enhancers ready, believe hold up to turning that crank up handle was closer to home.
However I have missed one huge point....have they got enough customers....Well there are similar proven models for other products which following this proven route achieved spectacular sales. So knowing the huge costs other products have and the uniqueness of ours I believe they are going to be swamped with demand, when that "crank up" handle is turned.
How long??? well I believe within the next 4 weeks, get the new personnel in first.
