Tootoo99 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 You sound happy that a Ford plant would lose work and layoff or close! Not at all just happy to see Livonia getting what belongs to them where all on the same team general I feel bad for van dyke but that's the way the cookie crumbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fittersteve Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I don't see how. Livonia makes the 4 and 6 speed rear wheel and four wheel drive transmissions, and there hasn't been any new construction other than tear out. also 4r is going away so we have those peeps to place. Sorry bro either your miss informed, or this is like 2 years out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdw1 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Livonia Transmission The 6R product lineup continues with a substantial capacity increase, while the 4R line balances out.

Plant investment is $192M. Copied and pasted from the contract highlights of 2011 This money has long been spent... They have reported it several times as new, but it is gone... You wont see anything new until the next contract. I am a tradesmen laid off due to lack of work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fittersteve Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Livonia Transmission The 6R product lineup continues with a substantial capacity increase, while the 4R line balances out. Plant investment is $192M. Copied and pasted from the contract highlights of 2011 That is already up and running. There is a rumor about a few more case machining operations but nothing that would create enough jobs to keep the people we will lose when 4r goes down, or add any lasting trades jobs.. Then there is an 8 speed rumor that "someones friend who works for so and so, who saw the machine orders... blah blah blah." I'll believe it when i see it.

Tootoo99 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I heard they wanting you to return cause your not wanted at your current plant. Does the general have a job because it seems like your always on or are you one of those lazy guys that likes to complain about everything and doesn't work.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I dont see it happening. You could put half of FoMoCo in there however, place is friggin empty. Cant see why Ford is keeping the place open, I thought they were trying to get plants up to capacity and running on multiple shifts. Livonia only runs two shifts in 6R, 4R is a lame duck and the new 6R3 just makes 600 a day. If I was a betting man Id say the place is two years from closure.

Tootoo99 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Heard Livonia getting a new transmission that goes into the new dodge viper! Hey general don't worry buddy there will be plenty of work at Livonia when you get laid off from sharronville I'll show you around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph 7 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Lets see Livonia has won back to back Harbour Awards for the last 2 years. Supports the "Crown Jewel" of Ford the F-150. Has new product development and powertrain headquartered on its campus. So to all the haters take a long walk off a short pier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man...isn't that so similar to what they said in Atlanta when the Taurus was the best vehicle in the Ford line several years in a row...even the year they closed the place. Careful...Ford does not make decisions based on quality...they make them based on PROFIT margins. If it becomes cheaper to build those tranny's elswhere...Livonia is history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tell me why with all that going for it, do they have 550 production workers left in the building. Place employed 2500 ten years ago. North end completely empty. South end will be in two years when 4R goes away. Sharonville is full, Van Dyke had an addition added to get more work, while Livonia shrivels and quietly goes away. New product center????? In all the time the ATNPC has been open there has been one, ONE, transmission line added to the plant. New product my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph 7 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Exactly. Livonia is dead. Just for your dumbship quality and productivity travel in pairs well thats all in Mr. Harbour's opinion because thats what he declared, and after all they dont call it the Dumbship Hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph 7 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Speak english, I havent a clue what the above means. Ron Harbour has found that Quality and productivity are found together. Hence travel in pairs. Livonia has been one of the most profitable units in powertrain latley. Getting great numbers off 6R 1 2 and 3 And recently we addressed a vendor problem in a timely manner on good old 4R, all the parts measured within spec that were made in plant on 21 year old and older equipment!!!! So those my friend are undeniable facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So those my friend are undeniable facts. Guess what else is undeniable. Empty north end, empty south end, empty heat treat (not needed anymore since we will no longer machine any gears or shafts), 568-588 area will be dead in two years. Great numbers get us an empty plant and less than 600 production workers. Hell, we have too many people right now. GMs Hydra matic plant invested in their 6R, had a new line up and running. Two years later GM closed the place. Look for the same to happen to Livonia once the 6R goes away, if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tootoo99 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Same thing happened at Norfolk. People just don't get it. Why Are there so many haters long live Livonia more jobs are coming there adding a 3rd shift in 6r and mr 182 you should be ashamed of yourself being from Livonia and talking bad about it if you are being negative about Livonia leave it because there's alot of people waiting to go back. Sorry Livonia isn't going nowhere and we are taking 6r jobs from van dayke and going to Livonia where it belongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Livonia isn't going nowhere and we are taking 6r jobs from van dayke and going to Livonia where it belongs Um no. It was either add a 3rd shift in 6R or start up the overflow 6R3 line. Yes, 6R3 is just an overflow line to build what 6R cant. So you can keep dreaming about 6R adding a third shift. Guess what, you have not refuted anything Ive said. Empty space out the ass, a decimated union, and no new work coming. You can talk about new work but until its in the plant and running its all rumor. Two years from now when 4R goes belly up, the place will be left with one line and less than 400 people working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres an idea Mr. 182 why not transfer to another plant since your so down on Livonia. I'm sure someone would just love to have a positive person such as yourself bitchin about their place!!

morepie Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The General is related to the person running this forum in some way, because the person running this forum is a company supervisor or manager. General is a lazy idiot that comes in here along with Longball and runs his upper lip about how people should be glad they have a job and this and that. He is some old idiot that has to use his pump to get it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
