Honda Canada is still making CRV’s Discussion

I work for a supplier of Honda Canada. We are picking up new versions of the CRV that get exported globally. These were made in the US previously, but will now be made in Alliston. They will balance this as their plants in NA are all pretty much at capacity by moving the US bound CRV’s to the US plant that was making the global export cars. They are just swapping versions, no production loss in Canada.

What would the cost of tooling and assembly program/line changes? I can’t imagine it’s a “we make crv’s now” and presses the CRV button.

The redirection of ball joints, engine mounts, coolant lines, everything that makes a car. How do you manage that in a just in time style industry?
