Ford Working On Creating Better Quality Vehicles By 2010


2009 Ford Fiesta

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.

    Hello, i’ve been browsing around your site and it looks really really neat. I’m building an automotive home page and struggling to make it look good, everytime I touch something I mess it up. How hard was it to build your site? Could someone like me with no experience do it, and add update pages without wrecking it every time?
