I feel for the 2500 workers but in fairness if the business model simply doesn't stack up it's difficult to justify keeping the doors open.Ford Australia just needs to let Ford USA runs things here IMO. Anyway I can tell you the real winner besides Expensive Daewoo is VW - $30billion profit thanks to Big data driven supply chain innovations, but hey Ford Australia management wouldn't have a clue what any of that means.
