History

Historical Context

In January 2006 Ford unveiled “The Way Forward,” a plan to close 14 North-American plants, cut up to 30,000 jobs and save nearly $5 billion after a steep market-share decline. Alan Mulally, appointed CEO in September 2006, executed the cuts, restoring profit by 2009. Nissan’s 2026 “Re:Nissan” program echoes that model, targeting ¥60 billion in cost cuts and expanding U.S. production in Smyrna, Tennessee.
