Hello <<First Name>>!



Here's a quick update for everyone eager to get their Z.



Our last schedule email had a small number of Z units building in December, ramping to production quantities in January. Each of you received a projected ship date for your Z based on that plan.



After closing out December and evaluating the production schedule, the projected Z ship dates have moved out one month (meaning that units we planned to ship in December will now ship in January, January units move to February, etc) and the updated date for your unit(s) is below.



The slip was driven primarily by an unexpected need to shift manufacturing resources to complete PicoStill production (which had itself been held up by component shortages and US Customs clearance), coupled with the inevitable vacations and other delays that hit in December. We expected the vacation effect, and intentionally kept our Z production plan for December low for that reason, however the impact of minimal manufacturing staff threw out even our reduced plan.



If there is any silver lining here, it is that this delay was caused by temporary, non-design-related issues: manufacturing resources are now freed up and vacation time is over, so production is back to relying on supply chain, people with screwdrivers and a lot of late nights / weekends to catch up.



Our CEO has ordered all-hands-on-deck to finish out the Z production schedule, meaning that our engineering, supply chain and manufacturing staff are entirely-focused on Z, until the last unit ships out to its new home. Our customer service and support staff have been relentless advocates for increased communication, so we are restarting the weekly Z status email to keep you up-to-date on our progress.



We recognize that for many of you the Z schedule has been a long journey, with a stream of challenges to tax your patience. We appreciate your support and want you to know that we are doing everything possible to get your Z to you as quickly as possible.



Thank you,

PicoBrew Team
