Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes a situation where existing buyers, having already purchased and seen results, are now asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let me scan the transcript for relevant statements. Key points: - Diane Sullivan talks about the retail environment, inventory management, and how retailers are trying to shift risk, wanting lower initials and to chase product. She says "we're in a good position to really respond to a lot of that" - this is about responding to retailer requests for chase product, but it's about the general environment, not specifically about proven buyers asking for more than the company can supply. - Rick Ausick talks about Famous Footwear comps, inventory, and says "we don't turn our inventory enormously fast" and that if they get a better sell-through by a point or two, they don't necessarily have to run out and react. He mentions they saw some early indications and went out and bought more product for Q2 and Q3, but that was on something selling at very high rates. This is about Famous Footwear buying more, not about the company being asked for more than it can supply. - Diane Sullivan talks about the supply chain initiative, rapid replenishment, and integrated planning. She says "we're looking at rapid replenishment to help us really compete even more effectively in this new environment. So, we can get back into really good selling products quickly." This is about the company's own capability to replenish, not about external buyers asking for more. - There's no mention of customers, accounts, partners, or distributors who have already bought and are now asking for more than the company can supply. The discussion is about the general retail environment, inventory management, and the company's own initiatives. The question asks specifically about a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. This does not appear in the transcript. The transcript discusses the company's own inventory management, its supply chain initiatives, and the general retail environment, but not a situation where existing buyers are demanding more than the company can deliver. Therefore, the answer is NO.
