GM & Ford Manufacturing

I have written quite a few articles stating that Manufacturing must follow Engineering's designs exactly. The reason I do this is because I have heard that Ford and GM's Manufacturing does not. This is not Manufacturing's fault as I have heard, but Management's fault.

Manufacturing receives the engineer's specifications and does not adhere to them. This I think is caused from a directive from Management to cut corners and save money. This, if true, is ludicrous!

Management has its work cut out for itself in order to make the best cars and in the long run regain market share. This inevitably will trigger confidence, boost stock price, make the customer happy, and inevitably take back a percentage of the auto market.
