SameOld! Same Old! Lutz should have left with Waggoner

GM's Lutz Makes Another U-Turn | online.wsj.com

Why do they keep a guy who shares responsibility for the failure of GM?His "wonder skills" in design and marketing have not proven to be of any value. He should retire now and just go. His skills are way overrated based on results at GM and his previous car company employers.

What GM Bankruptacy means to you | online.wsj.com

Where did the leadership go? Surely, the leaders at GM and the UAW could see this coming. How did they get to their present level if they did not see this coming years ago?

Chrysler CEO Says New Board Coming With Fiat Deal | www.nytimes.com

The U.S. Government in cooperation with the Senior Management of Fiat is going to appoint a new board of directors for this new joint company. Fiat is for all practical purposes a two market auto manufacturer; the home country…Italy (62%), and South America (38%). Chrysler LLC is a one market manufacturer in North America (72%) (Recognizing Graz, Austria (28%) for Minivans & Jeep). Respectively in those markets both companies loose money.

How about work practices?

April 21, 2009

GM Meeting With Treasury Team on Deeper Cost Cuts | www.bloomberg.com

All we hear about is concessions in wage and benefit related issues. The GM plants I have visited lead me to believe that work practice revisions and total removal of restrictive work practices would equal any gains in wage and benefit reductions. A good team of industrial engineers from more efficient industries would find a gold mine at GM.

GM’s Wagoner Meets With Auto Panel for Six Hours | www.bloomberg.com

Publications have used many adjectives over the years to describe the automotive tier one supply base; troubled, distressed, beleaguered, crippled, restructuring, etc... But the last six months it has interesting and painful to watch how the descriptions have progressively deteriorated to the most recent “unable to remain solvent”.
