MC53- PASSING THE BUCK

THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF A DELAY IN PARTS IS A DELAY IN ORDERING THEM
In all my years of managing heavy equipment the one single reason for a delay of repair parts was a delay in placing the order. Second is the inability to show proof of financial ability to pay. This is a common excuse for repairmen to use since there are no dates offered as to when they were ordered. This is a gray area used for many years, a common ploy and excuse. Pointing fingers at manufactures and shippers to cover one's own inadequacies. (dumb ass)
Delay in parts shipment pushes back CUC repairs:
The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. will not meet the targeted April 2009 completion of all repairs and maintenance work on its power engines due to a delay in the shipment of engine parts. The Story Here.....
We should see when these parts, they say are delayed, were ordered, I'll place my bet that they were ordered late or weren't made with any proof of the ability to pay for them. No one is going to make a $1 million dollar, special order part without proof of the the consumer's ability to pay. We all know the credit of CUC is nonexistent. This is probably the largest part of the problem.
Passing the buck....

April 2009!!!!????? What kind of timetable is that?

CUC needs to be privatized ASAP.

On the Blalock Show, Muna stated that they need to fix the generators before they consider privatization.. to make the deal more attractive. He neglected to say that this would take more than half-way through next year.

Screw that.. get that joint privatized now.
