What do you do when you have a plant that is much more productive that any other in the United States?
You close it, of course.
Authors of a closely-watched study said today that U-S automakers continued to narrow the productivity gap between them and Japanese manufacturers last year, with DaimlerChrysler A-G’s Chrysler Group making the biggest strides.
Meanwhile, the assembly plant designated the most productive of 2005 by the Harbour Report is one that is scheduled to close: Ford Motor Company’s facility near Atlanta.
…
Among assembly plants, the Ford facility in Hapeville, Georgia, outside Atlanta, stood out with 15-point-four hours per vehicle. The plant, which makes the Taurus, is one of seven Ford announced it is closing by 2008 as part of its restructuring.
