Hello Folks,
This is my first post and I'm currently a grad student at UC San Diego, studying Business Operations. I'm currently doing research in regards quality, capacity, and inventory that relates in Business Operation System. I decided to do further research with PRS because I do know Paul stands for it's quality. However, I do encounter some roadblocks for my research. I couldn't find more information how PRS produces the guitar from the start. Due to COVID and living in the West Coast, I'm really concerned to travel at this moment and on the top of that I can't go sign up for factory tour. I wish I can do the factory tour because I do want to understand how PRS is different than any big guitar companies like Fender, Gibson and so on, as well with stay competitive within the market (Suhr, James Tyler, and so on).
If someone here can chime in with their experiences for factory tour, that would be an awesome start. I'd like to gather some insights with others player as well and understand better how PRS deliver the best result/guitar in guitar manufacturing industry. I know there is a video of walkthrough of the factory tour, also how PRS makes their guitars. However, what I'm looking is to what degree the PRS operation aligned with its mission?
