Not only for agreeing to be my mentor throughout my honors senior project, but for also suggesting valid points to make within my essay and final PowerPoint presentation that would better my research. I appreciate Professor Lillie for taking the time out of his schedule to meet with me during his office hours to discuss ideas and interesting facts that would be essential to crafting my essay. I would also like to recognize my cousin Neleze Meadows for helping me in narrowing down my broad topic to solely focusing on the evolution of Ford auto-motives. My cousin helped me chose an automobile company that has had the biggest transformation from beginning to end, and is continuously still growing in the 21st century.

  • Nine Things I Learned from Alan Mulally Bryce G
    Nine Things I Learned from Alan Mulally Bryce G. Hoffman ChangeThis | 93.01 In the summer of 2010, I decided to take a year off from my job as a journalist with The Detroit News to write a book about one of the most amazing comebacks in business history: the turnaround of Ford Motor Company. As the Ford beat reporter for the News, I had covered every twist and turn of that epic drama. I knew that this story was about much more than saving a car company. It was a roadmap for changing cultures. When Alan Mulally arrived in Dearborn in September 2006, he knew little about the automobile industry. However, he had already figured out how to take a dysfunctional organization that was being ripped apart by managerial infighting and turn it into a model of collaboration and effi- ciency. Mulally had proven that at the Boeing Company, where he was credited with saving the commercial aircraft division from a series of catastrophes ranging from the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that had cost Boeing most of its business. But Mulally’s biggest accomplishment in Seattle was saving Boeing from itself. Now Bill Ford Jr. was asking him to do the same thing with Ford. It was a daunting task. Ford—the company that put the world on wheels—was on the verge of bankruptcy. For decades, it had been fighting a losing battle against foreign automakers that not only made better cars, but also did so more efficiently and at substantially lower cost.

Joiner SUPERVISOR: Dr. W.A. Anderson NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 55 ii ABSTRACT Several documents have been presented outlining the methods incorporated by large multinational corporations in their plant location process. These methods contribute to our knowledge of how companies choose a location in which to locate a manufacturing operation. The role of the region or municipality in preparing an appropriate atmosphere to coordinate with an industry's specific requirements has not been widely examined. The objective of this research paper is to examine the role played by the Town of Ingersoll, Township of South-West Oxford and County of Oxford in Southwestern Ontario in preparing a sui table land, infrastructure and zoning regulations package to facilitate the requirement for a joint General Motors and Suzuki automotive assembly plant. The results obtained from this research paper will aid in the awareness of the actions that occur to aid such a large industrial and economic expansions within a small agricultural society.

  • General Motor's CAMI Assembly Plant Celebrates Production of Five
    News General Motor’s CAMI Assembly Plant Celebrates Production of Five Millionth Vehicle INGERSOLL, Ont. (May 15, 2018) — Today CAMI Assembly employees had five million reasons to celebrate as they marked the production of their five millionth vehicle, a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox at the Ingersoll, Ont. assembly plant. Employees celebrated across all three-shifts as the landmark vehicle made its way through the plant. CAMI employees will be given the opportunity to purchase the Cajun red 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD through the local dealership, Searles Motor Products. Building world-class vehicles since April 1, 1989, the plant was originally established as CAMI Automotive Inc. – a joint venture with Suzuki Motor Corporation. During the early production years, CAMI produced models for both Chevrolet and Suzuki. In 2011, the joint-venture partnership with Suzuki Motor Corporation came to an end and the plant became a fully-owned entity of General Motors, which is now known as CAMI Assembly. As a result of a C$800 million investment, CAMI Assembly has been producing the current-generation Chevrolet Equinox since January 2017. The Chevrolet Equinox is a fresh and modern compact SUV, perfect for exploring our country and living the Canadian Dream. The Equinox features an expressive design, increased cargo space, the latest connectivity, an expanded roster of available safety features and an all-new range of turbocharged engines — including the segment’s first turbo-diesel. The Canadian-built Equinox launched with great success into the heart of the compact SUV market, the best performing segment in Canada, providing Chevrolet with the newest and broadest lineup of crossovers and SUVs.

  • Combination of Brexit and Ceta - Moving Vehicle Platforms from 1
    COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 1 UK TO CANADA Combination of Brexit and CETA - Study on the Possibility of Motor Corporations Moving Vehicle Platforms from UK to Canada Junxi YU Engineering and Public Policy, McMaster University COMBINATION OF BREXIT AND CETA - MOVING VEHICLE PLATFORMS FROM 2 UK TO CANADA Abstract With the help from Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in 2016, enormous opportunities and benefits have been created for the automotive industry in Canada. Specifically, European Union(EU) tariffs immediately eliminated on all Canadian auto parts that exported to EU. In the European market, UK has been a competitor to Canada in the automotive industry. After Brexit, without the benefits of free trade within EU, vehicles manufactured in the UK will start to lose their appeal in price gradually. In the thesis, a comparison on the current situation of five motor corporations in Canada and the corresponding motor corporations in the UK was made. It was found that only Honda Canada and Honda UK have an identical vehicle platform referred as Honda Civic platform, which produces same vehicle models, namely Honda Civic Type R and Honda CRV. On the contrast, the other four auto corporations don’t possess a same vehicle platform, producing same vehicle models in Canada and UK. A thorough analysis on Honda Motor Company was conducted. The total costs including vehicle price, shipping costs, tariff and currency exchange rate for EU consumers to purchase a car from the same platform in Canada and UK was calculated separately. By comparing the total costs of the two purchasing routes, the conclusion and recommendations was provided.

  • A Study of the Ford Motor Company
    Business Value Group LLC A Study of the Ford Motor Co Turnaround 2010 Keys : Quotes from Participants Key message or take-away Business Value Group LLC Patrick Hehir, September 2010 It is said that a man is not defined by his challenges in life but rather by his response to them. The same could be said of communities and organizations, including public companies. During the deep global recession of 2008, a myriad of companies and industries in the USA struggled to survive. Although it has been recently announced that the recession is over, its effects persist and there is significant fear that there will be a second recession that will hit late 2010 and into 2011. Given the stubbornly high level of unemployment, some even suggest that the U.S. may in fact be in a depression. During this time, our key financial and automotive business sectors ended up needing U.S. government aid to help them navigate through the toughest patch of the downturn. However there was a notable exception within the US auto industry, ONE company that never asked for or received any direct monies from the government, and that was The Ford Motor Company. Having never asked for or taken a dollar of support from the US government, Ford reported a profit of $2.7 Billion on January 29 ,2010, for fiscal year 2009, after having had a loss of $14.6B in 2008.1 This was Ford’s largest pretax operating profit in six years. “The company also outsold GM in February 2010, something that had not happened in more than 50 years, aside from several months in 1998 when GM workers were on strike.”2 In April Ford reported a profit of $2.1 Billion for quarter one of 2010 a big reversal from year ago period where it had a loss of $1.4 Billion.
