"Accountability Starts at the Top"Except a lot of Ford's problems started with engineering not defective parts. Take the Bronco hard tops from Webasto. It was Webasto's fault for saying they could make them the way they were designed at volume. But Ford's design was just too ambitious and was later simplified.. And the biggest fault was Ford trusting that the volume units would be just as good as the hand built prototypes and not allowing time to see and test the volume units before committing to production and scheduling builds.
Parts are only one piece of the pie. It's also engineering and assembly. Vertical integration only gives you the opportunity for better quality. You still need good processes, engineering and assembly and commitment from upper mgr.Sun, 05 Feb 2023 13:52:43 +0000
