Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your question, since a global or sector manufacturing vice president sees different decisions than a director running one assembly or propulsion plant. Check each person's dates and whether a GM role is current before relying on their view of how the company operates today.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How does GM decide which plant builds a new vehicle or propulsion product, and how is the launch planned?
- 02How are manufacturing decisions split between GM's global leadership, vehicle sectors and individual plant directors?
- 03How does GM measure plant performance, and what does it do when a plant misses cost, quality or volume targets?
