Scheduling is a very, very big part of what I do. I deal with numbers all the time. I have different numbers for each production line and I have to make sure those production lines can achieve their numbers. The customer does not care how I do it, but they want their units, and that's my job to make sure they get their units.

We have customers that buy our product. They expect their product at a certain time, so we have schedules that we have to meet. We have schedules that are given to us a month prior to us even producing the product, so we know within a month's time what the capacity we have to build for each monitor, when we have to have it out the door, our shipping requirements. And so these are things we look at daily. We have a monthly schedule and we have a daily schedule and a production line has to output, let's say for instance, 800 units in an eight-hour period.
