Ed, I spoke to several buyer's who work for several plastic mold injector manufacture's here in the Northern Chicago area. They had some interesting things to say about SIT. First, they love it. It gets the manufacturer as close to just in time as you can get.Plastic mold companies do not want to store pellets either. When they go for a build of a perticular item they inform Phillips about 10 day's in advance. (It takes about 10 days to get it from Houston Texas to Chicago on the U.P.). I asked them how much of the plastic they buy comes from Texas.Surprisingly they told me less then half. <br />They buy most of there plastic out East.They would love to buy more from the SIT companies BUT it seems that several years ago when everyone was buying plastic down south the Railroads down there got broken.Instead of taking 10 day's to get plastic out of Houston it was taking 2 months.Alot of the molding companies got burned and lost contracts because they couldn't get pellets. Alot of plastic's companies went out East to get there material at a higher price for they have to help the pellet manufacter's off set the retool costs. They did say that the source of this problem is slowly starting to get there act right with some respectable delivery times out of Houston.(This source is a major Railroad and I do not wi***o offend anyone.) All the buyers said that SIT is the way to go for all railroads. <br /> Thank you again for the education!! TIM A
