Thread: Ford vs Toyota

  1. #1

    A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford) decided to
    have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long
    and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
    On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
    The Americans.. very discouraged and depressed, decided to
    investigate the crushing defeat. A senior management team was formed
    to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion
    was.. the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while
    the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.
    Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a
    consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second
    opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering
    the boat, while not enough people were rowing.
    Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent
    another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's structure was totally
    reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering
    superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
    They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1
    person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was
    called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings,
    dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting
    new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for
    practices and bonuses.
    The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
    Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor
    performance, halted development of a new canoe, sol d the paddles, and
    canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved
    was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next
    year's racing team was outsourced to India .
    The End.
    Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty
    years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't
    make money paying American wages. Toyota has spent the last thirty
    years building more than a dozen plants inside the US.
    The last quarter's results:
    Toyota makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in
    losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads.

    I will never by jap crap! Instead, I'll buy North American for their superior quality, warranty, fuel economy, longevity, and to keep 100% of my money right here in North America... the way the good Lord intended.
    When you buy Toyota, 100% of your money is going to Japan. Why can't you turn-coats see that?

    Wow that's pretty good considering Ford owns quite a few companies "Range Rover, Volvo, Jag, and Mazda and they don't keep all their money over here.... (Oh wait they lost how many billions last quarter.... What money haha). Ford and GM have more vehicles made outside this country than anyone - Mexico.... Maybe if American vehicle manufact would grow some balls and control Union contracts then they would post a little bit better profits. I believe the good Lord intended us to make sound and smart business decisions and make purchases that are wise ie my Toyota.

    Wrong Canatard. The money goes to the workers then the stock holders. I own Toyota stock so I get a share of the profits. Toyota Motor Co. stock is owned by most major mutual funds. More than 50% of the stock is owned by americans.
