Oshawa Car Plant No. 1 Is Tops in the Harbour Report North America 2005
OSHAWA, ON, June 2 /CNW/ - General Motors of Canada's Oshawa No. 1 plant
is the most productive vehicle assembly plant in North America, according to
"The Harbour Report North America 2005." Oshawa No. 1 took the No. 1 spot for
assembly productivity with 15.85 hours per vehicle. In total, GM has three of
the top five assembly plants including the Oshawa Car Plant No. 2 which placed
fourth.
Mike Quinton, plant manager of the Oshawa Car Plants said, "Top rankings
from the 2005 Harbour Report are testimonial to our highly skilled people who
work hard to achieve the highest levels of quality in the most efficient
plants in North America. This award is in addition to the recently announced
2005 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study that rates GM Canada's
Oshawa Car Assembly Plant as the best in North and South America for the third
time in four years."
Buzz Hargrove, president of the Canadian Auto Workers said, "Oshawa Car
Plant employees can be proud of their number one ranking in productivity on
top of their world renown quality awards. Our Canadian members are well
positioned to play in the very challenging automotive global arena of quality
and productivity."
GM also leads in eight of the study's 14 vehicle segments, three of them
in cars and five in trucks. Last year, GM's vehicle assembly plants improved
productivity by 2.5 percent, driving GM to become the most improved
manufacturer for the last five years at a total rate of 28 percent.
Oshawa Car Plant No. 1 produces the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Impala
passenger cars. Plant No. 2 produces the Buick Allure and Pontiac Grand Prix
passenger cars.
