Apparently, I need to clarify my questions in relation to your quote.
Can you point us to where that quote is from? (give an attribute?) or is it a statistic you came up with for the moment?
Can you give us more accurate and less general statistics and explain how you arrived at those numbers?
I am wondering just who is included with the "Crown Designs and manufacturers". is that all (85%) work done by people who have the word Crown on their pay checks? does it include all the transport workers who move the goods? does that include the Crown's China operations? does it include the parts manufactured by others (contactors and tips?) as each component counted as 1 part or does it include each subcontractor's part as 1 assembly and so less % of parts not designed by crown? (% or PN in Crowns Parts catolog?)
And does that include everything ever made by Crown or is it on some particular day or some start time? inquiring minds would like to know!
