Fiat takes aim at waste in Chrysler plant overhauls | detnews.com | The Detroit News

In the days after Chrysler came out of bankruptcy, workers returned to factories that wore fresh paint and black-and-white banners that read: "World Class Manufacturing. Welcome Back Chrysler Group LLC employees."

The message crystallized the goal of Chrysler's new Italian management team: to perfect a new, more flexible, cost-effective way of building cars and trucks and remake Chrysler to be competitive and profitable.

"World Class Manufacturing" is a detail-driven production process honed by Fiat SpA to improve quality and efficiency. It is being adopted at Chrysler as part of a complete overhaul of the new company that emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in partnership with the Italian automaker.
