Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic April 18, 2016 Share April 18, 2016 Watch the documentary on Discovery Channel on Mega Factories. Every hour, auto-makers produced 40 engines (complete engine) and working on 24hrs shift, it produced 960 engines per day (24hrs)....... So no worries for those who ordered in Feb to May ....

Carbon82 Moderator April 18, 2016 Share April 18, 2016 In today world where globalization is the key, I don't think any brand can avoid total production halt due to failure of a paticular key component supplier. It can even be down to a particular micro electronic chip that may seem insignificant to many manufacturer / consumer. In the case of this latest earth quake in Japan, if the factories affected are supplying engine parts to Toyota and Honda, other production facilities outside Japan may also be affected, since engine are sourced mainly (if not all) from Japan. The same goes for braking system component, or even platform, chasis, etc. That is why there are strong push for Business Continuity Planning in the past decade, after a few major natural disaster and pandemic outbreak. Of course, it is easier say than done, so history repeats. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
