Headcount reduction is currently being carried out. The many years of supply chain software improvement is going to be proven useful.

Automobile design tools using computer, made one design per month a reality. More models sell more cars. Individual choices are to be satisfied. Reduction of models reduced market share. The reason oldsmobile did not sell was because GM supplied in only one size, small. Oldsmobile used to have the same line up to compete with Chevy, Pontiac, buick and cadillac. Now each car is defined by size, no longer by brands.

In the theory of obsolescence and replacement by Alfred P. Sloan, the brand is identified by your profession. Today, the customers are not defined, and the market is lost for lack of brand recognition.

Its a shame not to drive the car representing your standing in society is the reason that people spend more money on cars to keep up with the Jones.

Some one in Detroit lost the magic formula of sales by obsolescence and replacement and its relationship with class of profession. No one will be caught dead in a Yugo is a hard lesson to be learned.
