EdselBryantFord Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 rotating down weeks? interesting, i figured sales numbers wouldn't allow such a fiasco, but perhaps a parts or paint shortage who mandate it. I am hearing the possibility of two or three weeks down time to catch up the slack in the supply chain, and let us perform some updates and maintenance.

damagedone37 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Nick said this could possibly happen if gas prices continue to trend further upward. Gary also said this as well If the issues continue w suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTP Nick Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Nick said this could possibly happen if gas prices continue to trend further upward. Gary also said this as well If the issues continue w suppliers. Its mainly due to parts shortages that are now being felt from Japan. Im hearing toward the end of April is when these shortages will be felt the most. Ford is slowing down globally over the Japanese crisis along with other shortages...This is what the meeting was about last weds with the plant Chairmen at MTP that some guy posted on here. I love how Nick always walks around and blames things on gas prices all the time. He KNOWS the real reason for this possible downtime yet he plays everyone for an idiot and says his usual"GAS PRICES excuse...
