Fallout From Firestone Ford Impacts Industry

Ford’s Just In Time supply chain is expected to feel the effects of Ford’s cutback in production as the company replaces potentially dangerous Firestone tyres. The idling of three production lines will cut production by 24,000 vehicles, with a further cut to follow. Suppliers such as Lear Corp, Dana and Borg Warner are amongst those announcing reductions in forecasts due the knock-on effect of the Ford stoppages.
