Ford Working On Creating Better Quality Vehicles By 2010
Ford is determined to make sure that their new small car line-up will launch in the U.S. as the best quality in the automaker industry. Two of the cars in the line-up include the next-generation Focus and the Fiesta.
They are looking to accomplish this task by the 2010 model year and will be sending a large amount of UAW workers to Wayne State University where they will be certified “Six Sigma Black Belts”.
For now Ford is dealing with 1,300 problems per 1,000 vehicles and are trying to lower the number of problems down to 800. It will be interesting to see whether or not they manage to reach this goal or have to deal with bigger issues in the future.
