Communication Is Number One

COMMUNICATION in the manufacturing of any and all products (especially automobiles) MUST TAKE PRECEDENCE!

My father was a Chemical Engineer at a pharmaceutical company for forty years. He impressed on me that it was communication among all the departments that made things roll. He would talk to Maintenance, Production, etc., and go down to the job sites to see the progress. And it all worked.

I think GM can take a lesson from this. It doesn't take any financing either.

In the long run, employees will feel better about doing their job, plus more satisfied. Quality will increase, and the company as a whole will flourish.
