Way to go Ford/GE
Mr. Luddite
While GM dragged their feet over contract issues, Ford in partnership with GE Health got to work making ventilators. Interesting concept. After consultation with GE and with consideration to the type of locations they will be used, they are going to focus on a simple, proven design that is air powered rather than by electricity. Reduces the complexity and permits the ventilator to be used with a tank of oxygen only. Ford engineers visited GE and worked out some manufacturing improvements that will allow GE to also ramp up production. Ford is setting up a manufacturing facility in Michigan and expects to produce 50,000 ventilators over the next 100 days. Ford executive says it's the perfect combination of company strengths and capabilities. GE has a proven ventilator design and Ford has the expertise in mass production. Ford also said production rates will go up as required. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com “ Excellent! I wonder how their stock will do now? |
