Ford Motor Company announced on Monday that it is set to launch its expansion of the company’s global flexible manufacturing business.
By 2017, Ford states that it will increase its global flexible manufacturing to produce an average of four different models at each of its plans around the world. The automaker also plans to have 90% of its plants running on a three-shift or crew model by 2017, which could increase production by more than 30%. Ford also plans to have all of its vehicles built in nine core platforms, as opposed to its 15 platform building model now.
Commenting on the expansion, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford noted “One hundred years ago, my great-grandfather had a vision to build safe and efficient transportation for everyone. I am proud he was able to bring the freedom of mobility to millions by making cars affordable to families and that his vision of serving people still drives everything we do today.”
