PREFACE Automobile manufacturers, in general, produce only selected, key elements and subassemblies for their final product, and rely on a widespread and complex logistics network including material suppliers, foundries and fabricators for wide variety of other necessary components going into the finished automobile. Because of the importance of the automobile industry to the United States and to the world economy, it is important to under- stand the makeup of the logistics infrastructure and to understand its internal interrelationships and workings with the industry it supports. The purpose of this study was to gather all possible and pertinent information on suppliers to the automotive industry, and to present it in a form for ease of reference and further analysis 111 FACTORS CONVERSION METRIC IV TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Section Number SUMMARY 1 1.

  • 2016 GKN Holdings Plc Annual Report
    GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2016 GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 Strategic Report The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2016. 1. Business Review 2016 was another year of encouraging progress for GKN. Management profit before tax grew 12%, helped by favourable currency effects and the first full year contribution from Fokker. We also made good progress in executing our strategy, sharpening our focus and building momentum as we enter 2017. We continued to invest in technology, reinforcing our market leading positions in automotive and aerospace. This included developing our expertise in eDrive and additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, both of which we see as offering excellent opportunities for GKN’s future success. Financially the year could have been even better, but for the impact of operational issues in one of our North American Driveline plants which incurred significant cost over-runs on new product launches. GKN puts great emphasis on operational excellence and we have strengthened our processes in programme management to ensure all our locations consistently achieve the demanding standards required. Sharpening our focus In July, we announced a sharpening of our focus and we enter 2017 with a new structure of three divisions, with GKN Land Systems’ industrial business Stromag now sold and the rest of the division moved to other parts of the Group. The GKN Land Systems’ team has worked hard over the last few years, improving their operations around the world. But their markets have been tough, shrinking their sales and the size of the potential opportunity.

    NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL TIMES–ACTUARIES EQUITY SHARE INDICES IN 1989 BY J. C. H. BRUMWELL, M.A., F.I.A. ABSTRACT The process of updating company classificationscontinued. Seventy Index constituents were replaced during 1989,mostly as a result of takeovers, not quite a record. Only 46 replaced them, reflecting the difficulty in finding suitable new non-industrial constituents. The Mining Finance group was discontinued, but Engineering–Aerospaceand Water were introduced. Shipping & Transport was renamed Transport. KEYWORDS FT Actuaries Index; Ordinary Shares; London Market 1. Classification of Stock Exchange Securities by Industry The original classifications were set out in the 1970 note in this series (J.I.A. 97, 111–12). Subsequent amendments were set out in the notes for 1971–74, 1977, 1979–80 and 1983–88 (J.I.A. 97, 403; 99, 89; 100, 109; 101,199; 105, 85; 107, 81; 108, 85; 111, 203; 112, 87; 113, 173; 114, 143; 115, 333 and 116, 179). On 1 July 1989, a new category No. 21 (Aerospace) was introduced and 12 companies were reclassified in it from, with one exception, category No. 27 (Miscellaneous Mechanical Engineering). At the end of 1989, category No. 78 (Foreign Banks) was discontinued. All companies so classified joined category No. 77 (Banks), and the definition of the latter category was expanded additionally to include that of the former. The name of category No. 85, ‘Merchant Banks’, was simplified by dropping the words ‘and Issuing Houses’. Minor amendments were also made to the definitions of five categories during 1989. As a result of the quarterly meetings of the Classification Sub-Committee of the Joint Investment and Index Committee, the classifications of 56 companies were altered.
