Re: Gibson mandolin discussion with David Harvey - AND a 34 Fern
Yes thanks that was really interesting. They have 6 -12 mandolins on the floor at anyone time. If you assume that, on average, it takes 4 work weeks (5 days per week) to complete one mandolin (wood to strung), and that the factory averages 44 weeks of work (i.e., periods or full shop staffing -- considering vacations and holidays etc) -- making approximately 11 build cycles per year. Therefore, we could ball park Gibson mandolin production at 70 - 135 units per year?
