Re: Daimler\'s plans
The funny thing is Chrysler had 8.5 BILLION in cash when it was taken over.....money that was to be used when the eventual downturn did come.....money so they would have the ability to continue to finance new product development, while maintaining cash flow. Like my boss say's, just follow the money.
The heavy handed strategy being pushed on suppliers could badly damage the high level of trust garnered with the SCORE supplier cost reduction program. Score was the model for cost reduction, a program that used a positive working relationship between Chrysler and its suppliers top reduce not only piece part pricing, but improve the entire product delivery cycle.
