Your Daily Production Update

Good morning everyone, another brisk morning and another brisk start to the work day. Things are really carrying along here in production and we are working through another productive week. Looking ahead, we are on the verge of a shift in the weather pattern through the end of the week. Temps topping out in the low 70's with lots of sun on deck for today, we will see the shift occur later tonight with a 70% chance of thunderstorms. Tomorrow will bring temperatures in the mid 60's and a 50% chance of showers throughout the day. Friday is looking like a wash out with temperatures in the mid 50's and again a 50-60% chance of showers, cold and wet will be the short and sweet of it.

Either way, we are definitely moving into a more active weather pattern with precipitation chances through the next few weeks on the increase and temperatures beginning to decrease to levels we have not seen since March and April of this year. Timing and scheduling related to production will be finicky throughout this period and as always, communication will be essential to success.

As of today, Production is on schedule.

Have a great day!

Tuesday's Production Update

Good morning everyone out there in the wonderful world of Husker Nation. Ill keep this short and simple since most production information was conveyed through our staff meeting this morning.

We are looking at highs in upper 60's and lower 70's over the next couple of days leading into increased rain chances and much lower high temperatures towards the end of the week and through the weekend. A series of cold fronts advancing on us from the north will make it difficult temperatures to break the 60 degree barrier Friday and Saturday. Long term models are forecasting mid to upper 60's with plenty of sun for the beginning of next week.

Good day and good luck.

Interesting take on luck: "Luck is nothing but preparation meeting opportunity"

Production Network Update 9/28

As we begin to turn the page to the wonderful month of October, we are reminded of the change of seasons that is underway with every step outside. As we move into the fall season, it is important to remember that the weather will again begin to play a significant role in scheduling and installation demands as we move deeper into the year.

With cool temperatures topping out in the 60's today and tomorrow, we will be greeted by a blustery 70 degree day on Wednesday before the bottom falls out towards the end of the week. A strong chance of showers and storms on Thursday will bring much cooler and damper weather for the end of the week and into the weekend. Highs in the upper 50's to lower 60's are possible and rain chances exist Thursday through Sunday. Fall has definitely arrived and the long term outlook past the end of this week is for even cooler temperatures filtering in from the north by mid-week next week.

Lastly, if you look at column to the right of this post, you will see the heading: "Useful Links." This section has three links associated with it that may be of use to you in 3 different ways; Weather Forecasting, Local News and National Finance and Economic News. To use any of the three just click on the link name and it should redirect you to their website. The NOAA, (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association Website) is used by typing in a city and state name or zip code in the upper left hand corner of the page. Have fun and good luck!

Have a great day and an even better week!

Production Update 9/23


Good morning everyone, this is your Husker Production Network Update for Wednesday September 23rd 2009. As of today we are on schedule, on time and mother nature has held her end of the deal as far as keeping conditions satisfactory for production. While it is looking like we have entered into a more unstable weather pattern than what the local weather guessers initially led onto, with a little bit of luck we should not encounter any major production issue's through the end of the week.
If you were wondering why an image of Mr. T is applied at the top of this update, we have hired a new spokesman back here in the Production Department. Any issues, questions or concerns that you may have regarding production must now be directed through Mr. T.

Production Schedule Update 9/21/09

Good morning everyone, another Monday, another week and yet another opportunity to make an impact on the forward momentum of our company. With the passing of the weekend, we are also on the verge of passing summer into fall tomorrow with the Fall equinox. Cooler temperatures and rain forecasted through early to midweek will keep production busy accommodating installation schedules and customer demands for the near future. Longer term forecasts are showing steady highs in the lower to mid 70's with a slight chance of rain towards the end of the week. Overall a favorable forecast for production and hopefully a trend that continues through the fall.

Regardless, Fall has arrived and with it the opportunity to finish the year strong and set us up for a dynamite 2010.

Good Day!

Friday, September 18, 2009

Good morning everybody, we have finally reached Friday and with that yet another week down and looking forward to another productive week next week. We have had a good week here at Husker and are looking forward to yet another productive and positive step forward next week as well. Mother nature seems to be gearing up for a little change of plans though as we move towards the beginning of next week with series of cold fronts on the march from Canada. While frost, snow or sleet are not yet on the horizon, a good chance of precipitation exists through the first half of next week. Plan accordingly and stay flexible.

Lastly, CHEESEBURGER is the word set for around 10:00am today. As Mike's email eluded to yesterday, if you do not have to be in your offices around this time, don't be. If you must, have a cleaning task at the ready to show this guy how excited we are to be working at getting this building up and running. Good luck and Godspeed.

Have a great weekend and Go Nebraska!

Production Schedule Update 9/16

Good morning everyone, as we roll through another week like Mike rolls through a box of cheddar fish, we have reached the crest of the week, the hump-day, the venerable land on the horizon after a long, difficult journey through rough seas and troubled waters. As we approach the end of the week, we strive to put another notch in the belt not just to denote the passing of time, but another productive and positive week here in Huskerland.

As we work our way through another week, we could not ask mother nature for more cooperation with the Production Schedule and it looks as if the weather will hold through at least the weekend. Expect upper 70's to lower 80's for the norm and clear skies with no moisture in the forecast. As of today, we are on schedule and on time with all installations scheduled for the week.

Good day!
