Most efficient of all GM stamping facilities according to GM’s own data with independent verification
Lower production costs than other GM stamping facilities, without sacrificing quality
Teamwork model for GM with highest ranked competitive operating agreement
Why Mansfield Works
The Mansfield-Ontario Metal Center is the lowest cost plant in GM. The workers are the model for the Teamwork initiative within GM and they have the most Competitive Operating Agreement within GM.
If the reason for closing Mansfield is:
Shipping costs are higher from Mansfield than at other Stamping Plants: Shipping may be higher but production costs are lower:
Rail shipping: Mansfield has more rail car spaces than any other plant almost half are covered up and could be easily uncovered.
If the reason is:
Mansfield’s product line: Plants could send their dies to Mansfield. We can run the dies and repair them. We currently repair dies for Parma now.
If the reason is:
Metal Assembly capacity: We have more open space available than the other plants. Mansfield’s Metal Assembly has new electrical feeds throughout. In the electrical substations, new switch gear has been installed within the last ten years. So there is definitely the capacity to run everything in Mansfield.
Mansfield cost includes Laid off workers without that advantage we are better than Marion. The Figures used above are May 2009 year to date cost per ton given by GM
