The best choice I went with made the economy thrive and successful it stated I was an ECO – Hero but my grade does not reflect that. The first one was the Distribution Company which was good but had some issues with the proposal, the proposal was straight forward yet not enough information to help Sparksville be a sustainable city.

Buying a New Vehicle In this topic, I will speak of the importance of what to look for and what to expect when buying a new vehicle.

Product engineers had originally designed a lower tie bar for the cylinder block, a design never before used at Chrysler on a small engine. They believed their elegant design would not only entail lower capital investment, but also provide a superior seal that would reduce the risk of oil leaks. This design had already been incorporated in 23 prototypes built as part of the early design phase. Advanced manufacturing engineers, however, who joined the team after the early designs had been completed, subsequently pointed out that the design was not appropriate for high-volume production. Without a robust design, in terms of manufacturability, they argued, the project could not achieve its quality targets.
Toyota also saw the value in assisting Autoliv, because if Toyota assists its suppliers it will upgrade their own supply chain which Toyota views as an asset. Correcting Autoliv’s supply chain issues did not include turning their custom products to standardized products, this was not even remotely possible. “No two cars use the exact same airbag system—not even very similar cars such as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird. And subtle variations in design create different crash profiles, requiring different airbag system configurations for every car model.” (Roussel and Cohen, 42) Prior to bringing in Toyota, Autoliv organized their facility by automaker and had one long line

The Ford Pinto Case Review of the Case The Pinto is a car that was manufactured by Ford from 1971-1980. The Pinto was Ford’s answer to match the increasing popularity of smaller cars, also known as subcompact cars, which were being imported by Toyota and Datsun. Iacocca’s specifications for the design of the car were very specific. "The Pinto was not to weigh an ounce over 2,000 pounds and not cost a cent over $2,000 (Unlisted, 2006)." It was discovered in rear end crash tests, even before the car was sold to the public, that the fuel tank would rupture and begin spilling fuel in collisions over 25 mph and that collisions of over 40 mph would result in the front doors jamming making it almost impossible to get the passengers out of the car.

In the late 1960’s the United States was losing market on cars due to the small imports from Japan. So in 1968 Ford Motor Company went under work to design and introduce a compact car to compete with Japan’s small imports. Vice-President of Ford Motor, Lee Lacocca, suggests that the company to make and produce a car on an accelerated schedule to gain a large market share. This meant that “the car had to be designed and produced in 25 months rather than the usual 43 months for a new car line” (DeGeorge 298). And in 1970, Ford Motor Company started up the new line that ran the car that cost less than $2,000 and weighed less than 2,000 pounds, also known as the Ford Pinto.
