Old Hickory bat code info

[woodbat]

Attached are a couple photos of a unfinished maple Old Hickory bat of Matt Williams.
Matt was drafted by StL in the 15th round of the 2011 MLB June amateur draft. He was assigned to Johnson City in the RK league and then went to the Quad Cities River Bandits in 2012 at the A level. As far as I can determine this was the end of his MLB career.
This bat is labeled 020412-MW1.

Based on what you all posted concerning the first two digits indicate the year of manufacture, I am uncertain what these first two digits on this bat indicate, 02?
The next two digits, 04, are the month the order was manufactured (April)?
The last 3 digits are the work order number 412?
After the hyphen, the letters are the players initials MW. The number 1 is the first bat manufactured for order 412?


Would appreciate any information on this, thanks.

Like all codes & such, there is always variation. This was a sample bat done for Matt, so the serial number is the actual date 02/04/12.
