Get Ready Everyone, it's time to prep for 2026's End of Year Inventory Audit!

Our year-end physical inventory is coming up!

Physical Inventory Shutdown will take place from:

Monday 12/21 - Wednesday 12/23

Production will be shut down during these three days so we can count every part in our buildings. An accurate count helps ensure material is on the shelf when it is needed, reduces jobs waiting on parts, and gives our auditors records they can trust.

Pending a smooth inventory week, we plan to resume normal operations on

Thursday 12/24

Count Teams

We need 115 two-person count teams. Production will build teams by functional area, so most employees assigned to count will work in an area they already know. Your supervisor will confirm whether you are on a team by October 22, 2026. If you are assigned to a team, plan to work all three inventory days.

If You Work in an Office Role

Some office employees may be assigned to inventory roles. If you are assigned, your supervisor will provide your schedule and instructions. Otherwise, continue working your normal schedule during the inventory shutdown.

If You Are on A Count Team

Count days are regularly scheduled workdays at your normal rate. Overtime applies to hours over 40 in the week, and normal attendance rules apply. If you will be absent or late, notify your supervisor or lead at the start of your shift, or call the Timekeeper at ext. 107. Count team members will attend training on count procedures in November. Your supervisor will schedule your training.

If You Are Not on A Count Team

You will be unscheduled December 21–23. As with our annual plant shutdown, have at least 30 hours of vacation, PTO, or holiday time available to keep your pay and deductions whole that week.

Time Off and Holiday



Any time off already approved for December 21–23 will be honored. If you plan to request time off for those dates, talk to your supervisor before submitting your request in Paycom.

CHRISTMAS!

Friday 12/25 is a Paid Holiday!



More details, including your team, start time, and report location, will follow in November.



Thank you for helping us complete this important count. Doing it right will make everyone’s job easier next year.
