I think EK has been shutting down plants, facilities, lines, etc. for years. What they have left is probably still excessive, but I doubt they are running at 4% of capacity.
Very true. With demand down 96% from it's high, there is an awfully large amount of capacity going unused.
I can't imagine what my company would do if we had to idle 96% of our capacity. We'd probably just shut down.

From what I understand, based on @Photo Engineer ’s posts (IIRC), Eastman Kodak has shut down some of their coating lines already. I believe whole building(s?) have been demolished or renovated for other uses, including being rented to third parties. But I might be wrong, of course.

I recall PE saying that building 38 at 100% operating capacity could coat the entire worlds need for film in a day. (not counting changeover time for different formulations).
At such high levels of hierarchy it doesn’t matter anymore whether one understands something of the things made on production floors or not, these people stack papers and talk figures.
Corporations are machines designed to make profit, nothing more. How one makes that profit is a concern for underlings. How to skim the maximum percentage of that profit into their own pockets is the concern of executive management....At such high levels of hierarchy it doesn’t matter anymore whether one understands something of the things made on production floors or not, these people stack papers and talk figures...
What you're asking is for someone to search out a document with those marks in it, then copy the ASCII character and paste it into whatever they're composing. I go to that trouble sometimes when referring to a non-American-English word, but most people won't. Remember, our keyboards don't include those keys....What disappoints me is that Americans have no respect for the diacritics of French. It should be Mahé and école supérieure. The upper case letters are ridicule...
Not long ago, at least in the photochemical industry, such was different. The CEO may have bee an economist, but the next level heads were from the chemical or engineering field. All typically from within the company.
You've got to be kidding me. You rag on Americans for failing to use accents, and then you write a complete Greek sentence without accents. I guess you involuntarily proved everyones point: accents are a pain to type without the suitable keyboard. Εδώ είναι το πρόβλημα!Πoυ ειναι το προβλημα?
Yes Sal, and we can't type Russian, Greek, or Japanese characters. This is not a valid criticism by Europan. I agree with you.

Up to this thread I was not even aware that the GB/US keyboards were lacking the accents. I myself am missing at least a sole diaeresis/trema on my german computer keyboards and from the start I failed to add it to my boards, which makes writing in Flemish/Dutch a problem. My disk typewriter still got it.
PE, I type in all Japanese characters all the time on a PC, MAC, and my phone...
