Today, we bring you exclusive insights into General Motors’ recent decision to temporarily halt vehicle production at two U.S. factories due to impacts from Hurricane Helene.
The two affected factories, one in Flint, Michigan, which produces heavy-duty trucks, and the other in Arlington, Texas, which produces full-size SUVs, have had their shifts canceled as a result of disruptions to key suppliers. While General Motors has not provided a specific timeline for when production will resume, workers in Arlington were informed that operations are expected to restart on Monday.
Hurricane Helene, which recently made landfall in Florida and caused devastation in the southeastern United States, has also impacted General Motors’ supply chain. The automaker’s Vice President of Global Purchasing and Supply Chain, Jeffrey Morrison, highlighted the challenges faced by the company due to the hurricane and a recent port workers strike.
Morrison emphasized that General Motors has taken steps to deepen its understanding of its supply chain, especially in light of the disruptions caused by the pandemic. By mapping out its value chain more thoroughly, the company can better track parts and anticipate potential issues. Additionally, General Motors is committed to supporting its suppliers through production disruptions to minimize the impact on its plants.
