  • Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing
    New Automotive Markets: Genesee and General Motors' Outsourcing Prepared by: Michael S. Flynn and David J. Andrea of the Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation Transportation Research Institute The University of Michigan January 1990 Under a Sub-contract from the Industrial Technology Institute for a Contract from The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction This report seeks to identify potential market opportunities for Genesee County within the automotive economy, but external to General Motors. Through a combination of interview, survey, and archival data, it identifies product markets with three characteristics. First, demand from suppliers is likely to increase due to increased sourcing rather than manufacturing by the automotive assemblers. Second, capacity levels in the independent supplier sector are unlikely to be adequate to meet those demands. Third, the skills and product-experience of the GM labor force in Genesee constitute an available, trained workforce. The report also identifies companies, including domestic and transplant suppliers, that are likely beneficiaries of the increased outsourcing by the manufacturers; are likely to be capacity- constrained; and are likely to seek new locations. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide some direction to Genesee's efforts to find near-term replacement activity and jobs for expected losses at General Motors. The strategy reflects a recognition that Genesee's immediate attractions are its location with respect to the automotive facilities of the manufacturers, and a workforce both acclimated to the industrial culture of the automotive industry and experienced and skilled in its work requirements. In the final analysis, Genesee must diversify away from its heavy reliance on the automotive economy, but diversification within that economy is an important step, both to alleviate the impacts of the coming losses at GM and to achieve a diversified economy.
