2. Is this a common grade available in the market
3. Is this a common grade used in your production and any possibility of this grade discontinue using.
4. You mention delivered 22mt weekly, is the manufacturer local or overseas supplier.
5. What is the accuracy level of your sales forecast
1.its not a standard type polyester. if the material is defective, the new material will take 5-7 days to reach us.
2.its not a common grade available in market. right now, we got only 2 suppliers approved to supply to all the plants in the world.
3. there is no chance for discontinuing the material. but R&D is working on improving the test method and specification parameters as well...
4. its located overseas to all the plant. right now i m woking to optimize the inventory level in northern europe region. for Northern europe region,the material is shipped from norway/france/finland to denmark.
5. accuracy of forecast will be 25- 40%
