Fire in a Detroit area factory that manufacturers parts for several auto companies. They make ceilings, consoles, and other interior parts.
Now GM and Mazda have stopped production at some plants - the "just-in time" system along with single source providers works until it doesn't.
I make this argument ALL the time with businesses I inspect - a fire impacts far more than just the place that has the fire. :shakehead
Fire at parts factory forces auto production cuts
