[Johnson] Johnson Production Figures

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 12:10:05 -0500

Don't know what Johnson's serializing process was, but when I was
involved in the production of products from large company, we started
product serialization with the number 100 when the product became
"generally available". Serial numbers less than 100 where normally
preproduction models, lab models, models sent to particular people or
companies for evaluation, etc. We normally didn't build 100 preproduction
units, but when this phase was completed, the "generally available" units
started with 100. So unless you can talk with the production engineers
from that particular company, you're never going to be sure exactly how
many Johnson rigs of a particular model were built. And on a lighter
note, why do you care. What difference does it make?
