The large US auto manufacturers had the opportunity to learn from the Japanese with the International Motor Vehicle Program study, they chose not to.

Had they tackled the demarcation, the unions, the operational procedures then (10+ years ago) they would probably find that they would not be in this mess today.

If you dont change and evolve, and realise that there are other, better, more effective ways of operating you will not survive. It appears that the penny has only just dropped and the pain it causes them to change today will be far greater than it would have been had they addressed it when they first had the opportunity.

I'd not be concerned about what you are doing Monday unless you work for a unionised monolith who dont want to or wont accept change.

The unions fought for what they wanted and because of the short term-ism of winning battles for members over pensions and health care they will in the long term have put them selves out of a job. Oh Well!
