Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes buyers who have already bought from company and seen result are now asking for more than company can currently supply, and company is enlarging itself in response. Let's parse transcript. It's about Adient, automotive seating. Main issues: Seat Structures and Mechanisms business facing headwinds: launching efficiencies, steel supply constraints, customer interruptions, commodity prices. They mention "demand outpacing our ability to produce premium for it" maybe? Let's find exact quote: "The biggest by far related to launching efficiencies driven by launch complexity, pressure and capacity, demand outpacing our ability to produce premium for it and steel availability to name a few." Actually "demand outpacing our ability to produce premium for it" maybe "produce premium for it" unclear. But context: launching efficiencies, capacity, demand outpacing ability to produce? Need see if this is about existing customers asking for more than company can supply. They talk about "customer interruptions" and "mandatory containment actions required by our customers" due to problems meeting launch curves. They had "problems meeting large curves, the cost expanded to avoid customer shutdown and minimize the impact of customer interruptions." This is about company failing to supply existing customers due to launch issues, not customers asking for more than company can supply. They are trying to catch up on launches. Not about demand exceeding supply from satisfied repeat buyers. They mention "demand outpacing our ability to produce premium for it" maybe "produce premium for it" could be "produce product for it"? Let's read: "The biggest by far related to launching efficiencies driven by launch complexity, pressure and capacity, demand outpacing our ability to produce premium for it and steel availability to name a few." Actually "produce premium for it" might be "produce product for it"? But it's about launch inefficiencies, not repeat buyers. Question asks: "BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM" i.e., counterparties the company has already served are requesting volumes exceeding what company can presently produce.
