I am sure they have some sitting on the shelves for a certain amount of cars, but I would guess that 10,000 is not the number. Perhaps someone from Oshawa (or any plant for that matter) can comment on how many days-on-hand inventory they typically keep. I am sure they would start rolling as many cars out as they do have inventory for though.

When I did my NCM delivery @ Bowling Green we were shown all the activity going on at the loading docks, our tour guide mentioned they are big time into "lean logistics" and have NO MORE than TWO DAYS worth of materials on hand.
