If that is the range of their margin, then it won't take much to tip it over
into the red. Bet the percentage of warranty claims would be in the 0.0X% range
to tip it over, or is that 5.8% for the whole corporation, or just 'trucks & SUV's' ?
Niner....been there done that but from the program manager side of it...management
telling me to squeeze the team to get the 'results' they wanted...
Loved to learn that some OEMs force their exec's to drive the competition vehicles
as their company vehicle...But these types do NOT drive like us, nor do they
go much off the 'city' pavement
Goes back to management being too far away from their own products and just
managing their bottom line.
Apple Computer is a prime example. The board fired Jobs for a MBA, Sculley, who
ran that company via the bottom line and almost went broke till the board got
Jobs back, who ran the company via it's 'product', not the bottom line
To from almost broke to one of the most valuable corporations on the planet
in just a few years after Jobs came back (Job is brilliant, but he is
NOT a nice guy...I've negotiated against him to have him call my CEO
demanding I get fired)
