Not so New News of Ford South America and how they are integrating suppliers on the assembly floor, five different platforms going down the same line. It is impressive. I know it isn't breaking news. I just recall reading about it back in 2008 and ran across it again. Vendors working hand in hand with production line workers, Just In Time components, the suppliers even helped pay for the plant. Unprecedented levels of cooperation and slashing of red tape. Heavy duty slingers of new technology.
