  • 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.

    ARCHIVES James Scripps Booth (1888-1954) and John McLaughlin Booth (1913-1989) Papers 1907-1980 6 linear ft. plus 2 oversize boxes Acquisition Number: 1990-14 Acquisition: This collection was a gift to the Cranbrook Archives by Ellen Norlen Booth, with several additions thereafter. Access: Access to the collection is unrestricted. Copyright: Copyright to this collection is held by the Cranbrook Educational Community. Photographs: Photographs, negatives, and photograph albums were removed and housed with the Photograph Collection. The glass plate negatives are housed in the storage closet in the office of the Archivist (2002). Index: Located at end of finding aid. Also included is an inventory of the artwork of James Scripps Booth. Processing: In July 2002, additional artwork of James Scripps Booth’s was located in a portfolio. It was inventoried by Leslie S. Edwards and re-housed in an acid-free box. The finding aid was updated at that time. 1 Provenance The personal papers, paintings, and drawings of James Scripps Booth (1888-1954) in the Cranbrook Archives were created and assembled by Mr. Booth during his lifetime. After his death on September 13, 1954 in Norwalk, Connecticut, the ownership of these materials passed to his widow, Ellen Norlen Booth. Mrs. Booth maintained custody of the materials for some time but, owing to the lack of proper storage facilities in her own home, decided to deposit the bulk of her husband's personal papers and many of his drawings, paintings, and sketches, with James' son, John M. Booth, who had ample climate-controlled space for preserving the collection in his residence.
