These numbers are goals set. If they have reached them is a different matter. So how does it work? You plan sales and production. For your production you need parts from other makers. Think of motherboard, processor, shutter, mirror, buttons, the box and so on and on. So you place orders for these parts well ahead to have them delivered to your factory for assembling. They need to be all there, complete and at the right moment. So you plan a monthly start production and order the parts for it.......6 months ahead sometimes and for a period that is fixed......like 3 - 6 months or so and during that time you can change your production level.....up or down.....Whatever the market needs. So sometimes you see a manufacturer saying sorry for delays due to high demand and they can just not so simply make a bigger production.

The funny thing was that in JFK library and Museum in Boston there was only one memorabilia "Made in the USA" and all the rest in China and the likes.

So most production is made outside of the USA where they have 1200 employees. The cheaper the cap, the most likely it is made in China, Bangladesh or somewhere around.
I did fit a Red Sox cap when I was in Boston.......but didn't wanne spend that much on it. Bought a cap in Cape Cod (made in China).

So no new K-mount stuff this year (probably).
The custom KP puzzles me. It's nice to cut open a Lexus and smash an expensive watch to it. Put in a different color body and a cap to prevent people from miss-using the build in flash.......but then does the price of this (still a KP) double?
