A lot has been said about “bailing out” the traditional Big 3 auto makers in the US.  I am looking at some of this, and thinking… nope, wouldn’t be prudent.    Bottom line, they have it figured out.  They NEED to restructure.  Take a hard look at the photos of this plant in the video.  Then compare it to what you have seen in Detroit, or Cleveland, or Chicago.  No exhaust stacks, clean and well lit assembly areas, etc.

The problem is not so much with the companies, it is with the structure of the processes.  Let’s provide them with the opportunity to address the problem in their business, not provide them with an opportunity to perpetuate the same culture and approach that has gotten them to where they are today.

Here’s an interview with Fred Smith the CEO of Fed-Ex.  Interesting stuff.
