WJR Auto Report: Change in Detroit
USA - The Car Connection -12 Oct 2005: -- There's an old saying, "the only constant is change." And folks in Detroit better get used to the idea, whether they're designing cars, building them or running entire car companies. Few can ignore that fact anymore, not after Delphi, the world's largest automotive supplier, declared bankruptcy... There was a time when a job in an auto plant meant a well-paying, reasonably secure job. Not anymore. Not when manufacturers have to compete in a global economy... Things used to be even better if you worked on the white collar side, where pay was good, benefits better, and lifetime employment was all but guaranteed. These days, even management jobs are up for grabs. And that's going to be true all the way up to the most senior levels. The big challenge for Detroit is to learn how to operate in this increasingly lean environment. The Japanese competition has shown it can work. But: will the Big Three be able to apply that lesson at home?
