I love my electric fireplace and it is really cool. I had a hard time finding the master switch and it wouldn't turn on. When I called overstock they offered to send a new one right away. They were so nice and gave speedy service. I then realized where the switch was and it worked great. Meanwhile they were sending a new one. I loved the first one so well. I bought the second one for our cabin. Great deal and Great service. I like the log look and flames are so real looking. Good ambiance in the living room.

Vishwaroopam row ends but HC stays release in Tamil Nadu Last Updated : 31 Jan 2013 10:51:10 AM IST File Photo
Screening of Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroopam' in Tamil Nadu has been deferred again with the Madras High Court setting aside a single judge's order giving the green signal for the release.
Meanwhile, the actor agreed to delete certain scenes considered offensive by Muslim outfits.
The relief given to the actor by Justice K Venkataraman late last night was shortlived as a division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Aruna Jagadeesan quashed it, effectively stalling its release today.
Also read: Kamal Hassan threatens to quit India
The actor now plans to move an appeal in the Supreme Court against the High Court order.
The single judge had granted interim stay of operation of the ban order imposed by the state government prohibiting the film's release across the state after protests by Muslim outfits, who claimed that it showed them in negative light.
The court order came on an appeal by the government against the interim order of the single judge.
Even as the judicial proceedings were on today, Haasan said the issue had been "amicably resolved" during his talks with some Muslim leaders, after he agreed to delete "certain scenes and words" relating to the Holy Quran.
"The film is not anti-Indian Muslims and it is pro-Indian Muslims. There is no difference between me and my Muslim brothers," the actor, who spent nearly Rs 100 crore on the multilingual spy thriller, said.
Upset over the hurdles caused by the ban on the release of the movie, Haasan, in an emotional outburst, said Tamil Nadu does not want him to stay in the state and he might seek a "secular" place in the country or overseas.
During the hearing today, Advocate General A Navaneethakrishnan said the single judge had passed the order without taking into account the fact that the petition (of Kamal Haasan) was not maintainable in law.
The AG also said the judge has not considered the 'important aspect' that the order passed under Sec 144 cannot be assailed by the petitioner as it was done after elaborate and detailed consideration for maintaining public order, preserving public peace, public safety and communal harmony.
After this verdict, movie Vishwaroopam won't be release in Tamil Nadu till February 6.
Two theaters in Ramanathapuram district in Tamil Nadu have reportedly attacked fro screening the film. Some miscreants hurled the petrol bombs outside the theaters.
Film fraternity bats for Kamal Haasan
Members of the film fraternity, including superstar Shah Rukh Khan, have spoken out in support of Kamal Haasan over the controversy surrounding the release of his film 'Vishwaroopam'.
After the Madras High Court cleared the film's release in a verdict last night, the Tamil Nadu government today filed an appeal against the interim order by a single judge.
The film's screening has been started and stopped on Wednesday in various parts of TN, with an emotional Haasan saying he would leave the state in search of a "secular" place after incurring losses due to the delay in the mega-budget project's release.
"We have all gone through this, we have all faced this. To say the least, it is the most unfortunate thing to happen to a film. I would really like to state, this has happened to my own films. I have done this for 'Billu Barber', 'Om Shanti Om'," SRK said at an event last night, adding that a Censor certificate should mean that the film is fit for viewing all over the country.
"Kamal Haasan is a senior who I have a lot of respect for. My company Red Chillies has done the visual effects in Vishwaroopam. So it is just unfortunate and completely wrong."
South actor Nagarjuna also came out in support of Haasan, saying, "I haven't seen the film, but I know Kamal ji for a long time now and been an ardent fan of him and his work. he is one of the best actors India has produced. I don't think he is a man who would do something to affect communal harmony."
Haasan's good friend and superstar Rajinikanth had spoken in support of the actor-filmmaker when the film was banned by the Tamil Nadu government initially, after protests by Muslim outfits.
Actor Siddharth, who has starred in films down South as well as Bollywood, took to Twitter in support of Haasan.
"Heartbreaking to see the greatest Tamil actor of all time talking about leaving Tamil Nadu, about bankruptcy and about unfair persecution. Vishwaroopam screenings cancelled before starting & even stopped mid show all over TN. What a sad day. What a horrible week. #TalibanTN," he tweeted.
Actor Ranvir Shorey posted on the micro-blogging site, "These powers are meant to protect constitutional values, not selfish political interests. Pandering to ethnic groups of bullies is what divides the nation, not films and books!"
Actor Rajat Kapoor tweeted, "What is this country? Ban this - ban that. Don't allow this one to make films, this one visit a lit fest! Let's call ourselves Bandia!! How come Vishwaroopam has not caused any harm to national unity in the states where it has been released already? When censor board gives a certificate to a film, isn't it valid for the whole country? Or are we many countries??"
"Scary situation where even a CBFC body cant guarantee the certification will be sufficient enough for a smooth run of a film," posted actor Manoj Bajpayee.
Earlier in the day, upset over the hurdles caused by the ban on the release of mega budget 'Vishwaroopam', an emotional Kamal Haasan on Wednesday said Tamil Nadu does not want him to stay in the state and he might seek a "secular" place in the country or overseas.
"When M F Hussain can do it, Kamal Haasan will do it... I am fed up. I am an artiste. After that, I will have to seek a secular state for my stay... Secular state from Kashmir to Kerala, excluding Tamil Nadu... Tamil Nadu wants me out," he said in a choked voice as the fate of the movie is still to be decided in the court.Source: IANS, Other Agencies, Staff Reporters

Anna Kendrick Attempts K-Pop And Pulls It Off Like A Pro
A rite of passage for any hopeful Angeleno is experiencing late-night Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town. Nothing beats bellying up to the grill (with an extra bowl of kimchi, juseyo!) and staring at those plasma TVs blasting K-pop music videos. Because, as if the insane number of side dishes wasn't enough of a sensory overload, the ear-to-ear grins and choreographed moves of those Korean singers are the perfect diversions to our stinky hair and Hite-beer-stained dresses (oops!).
Well, in the latest Funny or Die video, Anna Kendrick's manager sends the actress to Seoul to join F(x), a group of Korean superstars who don't give the poor girl a fighting chance. Of course, if you've seen Pitch Perfect, you'll recognize the turning-point montage when Kendrick finally wins them over and becomes part of the team. Check out the video, and don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of the starlet shaking it the next time you're eating pork belly at Hae Jang Chon. (Funny or Die)

Affordable Care Act
States and National Exchanges.
So let's take a closer look at the Health Insurance Exchange rules set forth in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA creates state-based Health Insurance Exchanges administered by a governmental agency or non-profit organization, through which individuals and small businesses with up to 100 employees can purchase qualified coverage. In 2014 and beyond most Americans who work for small businesses or obtain their coverage in the individual health insurance market will do so through health insurance exchanges.
Those covered by grandfathered plans and Those covered by self-funded plans (this will apply to very few businesses) States also have discretion to allow businesses with more than 100 employees to purchase coverage in the Exchanges beginning in 2017. In addition, states may opt to allow the federal government to establish an Exchange in their state rather than implement their own. Another possibility allowed by the ACA is for states to form regional Exchanges or allow more than one Exchange to operate in a state as long as each Exchange serves a distinct geographic area. The ACA specifically requires all new policies (except stand-alone dental, vision, and long-term care insurance plans), including those offered through the Exchanges and those offered outside of the Exchanges, to comply with one of the four benefit categories. Existing individual and employer-sponsored plans that achieve Grandfather Status do not have to meet the new benefit standards.

Queen to miss Commonwealth meeting for the first time since 1971
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LONDON—Buckingham Palace says the Queen will skip the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Sri Lanka later this year — the first time she's missed the biennial gathering since 1971.
The Queen has long been a major supporter of the 54-member Commonwealth, and her decision to send Prince Charles to the November meeting is seen as a reflection of her age and of efforts to reduce her long-distance travel.
The 87-year-old monarch was briefly hospitalized for a stomach illness earlier this year, and she did not attend the Commonwealth Day Observance service at Westminster Abbey on March 11.
She has rarely taken time off for illness, having carried out more than 400 official engagements in 2012 — ranging from meetings with the prime minister to ceremonial gatherings.
One of her first public engagements after her illness was to sign a new charter setting out the Commonwealth's commitment to equal rights.
In Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has hinted that he'd like to see the summit moved out of Sri Lanka in protest of the country's human rights record.
Harper has made it clear for more than a year that, without major reforms, he personally will not be attending the meeting in Colombo.
Sri Lanka has received international condemnation since it brutally suppressed a long-standing Tamil insurgency on the island nation in 2009.

KUALA LUMPUR: Provisions in the current Sedition Act which had served as a shield in dealing with sensitive issues such as those pertaining to Islam and the Malay Rulers need to be preserved in the proposed Harmony Bill, Umno Youth said.
Movement chief Khairy Jamaluddin said the wing will "not compromise nor negotiate" over Islam as the federal religion, the special position of the Rulers, as well as the status of the bumiputras and the Malay language under the proposed law that will replace the Sedition Act.
"Also, any hate speeches directed at any race or ethnic group should be taken as an offence," he told reporters after chairing the monthly Umno Youth executive council meeting here yesterday.
"Where sensitive matters are concerned, they are non-negotiable," said Khairy.
He added that Umno Youth would discuss these issues further to "fine tune" its final draft before submitting the memorandum to the Government.
Asked if the movement would also include protection for gender minority groups, he said this was a sensitive issue but would be considered during deliberations.
"We will see how to word it," he added.

Additional Info on Classic Party Tents
Here at Ace Canopy, we offer different colors and sizes to suit various party needs. Whether you have a big or small event, you'll surely find a structure suitable for your upcoming celebration.
We offer classic frame tents. This model has a frame which supports the top cover. The space underneath the cover can be maximized since a center pole isn't necessary. Stakes can be installed to make the frame tent more stable.
Each classic party tent comes with a frame made of galvanized steel. It's a reliable material which can last for more than 20 years. But do note that its service life depends on how often you use it and where you use it. Galvanized steel resists scratches. It will not rust or corrode.
The top is made of polyester oxford. This is a strong and breathable material which can resist chemicals and abrasions. The thread thickness is determined by looking at its denier count. With a high number, you get a material with thick thread. The material is also treated with fire retardants. These are substances that decrease the flammability of objects.

The Texas Transit Association named Norma Zamora, GM of the Brownsville (Texas) Urban System (BUS), the state's Outstanding General Manager of the year. This recognition is given based on an individual's outstanding contributions to the public transportation industry.
Since 1993, Zamora has been active in the transportation industry. She began management of the BUS in 1998 and currently oversees 84 employees and the operations of 22 fixed-route buses and 11 paratransit buses. She is responsible for the planning and construction of an international multimodal facility to assist in the expansion of bus service in the area. Zamora is also responsible for the management of grant funding for her city's public transportation system.
"I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to make a positive impact in my community," Zamora said. "I enjoy my job, and that is what keeps me striving to influence the public transportation industry. I have a great team that has worked just as hard, and it is because of them that this recognition was achievable."
Zamora attended Texas A& I University - Kingsville where she received a bachelor's degree in accounting. She has been with First Transit, which operates the BUS service, for 17 years.
Peoria's acting public works and utility director said for residents a trip that now take two hours to get into Phoenix will drop to about a half hour.
Attendants are meant to be present at accessible transit stations at all times to help any passengers who are unable to physically tap their Compass cards at the gate themselves.
The new vehicles will be distributed to the MTA's three mobility vendors — First Transit, MV Transportation and TransDev — with all vehicles in service within the next three to four months.
Officials say using separate van fleets will improve the on-time performance for the paratransit trips with no changes in dial-a-ride service.
In a letter to Metro GM Paul J.Wiedefeld, the council members said the app-based transportation companies have a history of not providing accessible service and Metro shouldn't reward them with a contract.

Mitt Romney tells 'People' about Jesus, beer, his iPad music
Jim Cole, Associated Press
In a new interview with People magazine, Mitt Romney candidly talks about the central role of Jesus Christ in his faith, drinking and smoking once as a teenager, and what music he has on his iPad.
Politico's Playbook tipsheet published an excerpt Tuesday morning from the forthcoming interview with People.
In response to the question, "If you could clear up one misunderstanding about Mormonism, what would it be?" Romney at first demurred but eventually chose to highlight the church's emphasis on Jesus Christ.
"That's not my responsibility as a candidate, and the church could do a better job describing that than I," Romney said. "But perhaps the greatest is that the real name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We consider Jesus the Son of God without parallel."
The former Massachusetts governor discloses to People that "I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager" — but ABC News blogger Emily Friedman points out the admission isn't entirely new news.
"While many were shocked to learn that Romney had once tasted alcohol, this is an admission Romney has made before. In a June interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Romney said, 'I have tested alcohol. I tried it on one occasion. It was not a good experience. But drugs, never.' "
Asked about his iPad, Romney says he uses the tablet device while on the treadmill, and that loaded on the iPad he has Angry Birds, Scrabble and an eclectic collection of music including The Killers, Roy Orbison and the Eagles.
The Boston Globe published a brief summary of the new Romney interview beneath the headline, "People magazine bores into Mitt Romney's personal life, religious boundaries."

Sebelius Clicks Her Heels, Heads Home
by Mike Stanz
posted Apr 13 2014 8:30PM
Kathleen Sebelius, the former governor of Kansas, resigned last week from her job as Secretary of Health and Human Services. She became the nation's official piñata when the Obamacare sign-ups weren't going so well. Most observers say that this is a good time for her to step down. But given the beating she's been taking since last fall, you can bet she's clicked her heels together a million times, trying to get home to Kansas.

Major Earthquake Occurences Remain Multi-Industry Supply Chain Concerns
It has been two days since our Supply Chain Matters breaking news alert published on Friday on the occurrence of multiple severe earthquakes impacting southern Japan. While the major focus continues toward tending to the injured and missing, along with the assessment of the impacted region's major infrastructure, the supply chain disruption implications are indeed evident and potentially include multi-industry dimensions.
Numerous incidents of aftershocks continue to impact the area which is hampering efforts by companies to assess damage to facilities and supply chain operations. Reports that we are monitoring indicate that Toyota will gradually halt automobile production across Japan because of a shortage of components. The Toyota Lexus production plant in Fukuoka prefecture remains in production halt for the remainder of this week. The Tustsumi plant which produces the Toyota Prius will halt production from Tuesday thru Saturday of this week.
Toyota supplier Aisin Seiki has acknowledged the discovery of broken walls, windows and assembly equipment at its facilities in the quake area but has indicated that plans are underway to shift the production of door and engine parts to other owned facilities located in other parts of Japan as well as other external plants. The open question is how much additional time will be required to implement this shifting of production.
Other automakers such as Honda and Nissan have also halted operations within factories within the impacted region. Honda has a motorcycle manufacturing plant near the city of Kumamoto.
Sony is assessing damage to its smartphone image sensor plant in Kumamoto indicating that that plant operations are unlikely to re-start soon. Sony's camera image sensors are included in the Apple iPhone but the supplier has indicated that full operations remain at its plants in Nagasaki and Oita which also produce sensors used in smartphone cameras.
Semiconductor producer Renesas Electronics confirms it has sustained damage to equipment at its plant in Kumamoto which produces microcontroller chips for automobiles. Further assessment of damage remains to be completed before deciding when to resume production at this particular facility.
In addition, on Saturday, a more powerful magnitude 7.8 quake struck Ecuador, about 17 miles from the northwestern coastal city of Muisne, near the border with Colombia. What makes this incident so concerning is that this earthquake lies on the same geological "Ring of Fire" plates that surround the Pacific Ocean. Thus far, more than 200 deaths have been confirmed and there are reports of significant damage to the region's infrastructure.
The top exports of Ecuador are crude petroleum, bananas, crustaceans, processed fish and cut flowers.
Such considerable natural disaster events occurring over a short period of time should cause ongoing concern for multi-industry supply chain professionals since there is a lot of strategic component, commodity and finished goods production located in various regions along the "Ring of Fire." These incidents continue to remind all that the North America west coast region including California, Washington State and Oregon remain vulnerable to a major earthquake. As geologists constantly remind regarding the U.S. west coast region, it is not a matter of possibilities, but rather a matter of when a rather significant seismic event occurs.
Another aspect already being raised by business media has been what learning came from the 2011 major earthquake and subsequent divesting tsunami that struck northern Japan regarding supply chain disruption and business continuity planning, and how that will come into play over the coming days and weeks.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with the numerous victims of these disasters along with the impacted families. These tragic natural disaster events provide constant reminders that are planet remains fragile to devastating seismic and climate related events.

Breaking News: New and Earlier Earthquakes in Japan Have Supply Chain Implications
As we pen this Supply Chain Matters posting it is just past daybreak in Japan and early evening in the U.S. eastern time zone. Breaking news indicates that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake has struck early Saturday on Kyushu Island, the same region hit by a 6.2 quake two days ago. The U.S. Geological Society reports that this latest quake struck just west-southwest of Kumamoto-shi and about 8 miles south-southeast of Ueki, the epicenter of the late Thursday tremor that left nine dead.
While it is still early, one geologist is indicating that this latest quake has "severe, serious implications in terms of damage and human losses."
An earlier report published by Automotive News regarding the effects of Wednesday's quake had indicated that Toyota and Nissan had earlier suspended production at two automobile assembly plants because of damage incurred at two factories of a key supplier. The report indicates that a body factory and a die-casting plant, both operated by Aisin Seiki Co., and located in Kumamoto region, were damaged and both facilities have been shut down. These plants produce sunroofs, door frames, door handles and other associated automotive body parts. Workers were not able to enter these factories to assess damage because of the occurrence of frequent aftershocks.
Toyota had suspended output for both Friday and Saturday shifts at its main Lexus assembly plant in southwestern Japan, as well as nearby engine and transaxle factories. Nissan on the other hand continued production at its Fukuoka assembly plant in the Kumamoto region but also elected to suspend weekend shifts because of supplier shutdown.
With the report of the latest major, and far stronger magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurring in the same region of Japan, chances are that there will likely be other industry supply chain disruption rippling through Japan in the coming days.
Obviously it is rather early to speculate and first priority must be directed towards protecting human life and maintaining safety in the region.
With the ongoing threat for subsequent added aftershocks, industry supply chain ecosystems that extend to this region should be under alert to monitor ongoing events. Teams need to be ready to assess any added supply chain disruption over the coming hours and days.

Not a Good Week and Time for Automotive Service Management Supply Chains
For service facing and aftermarket automotive related supply chains, news developments this week have undoubtedly bordered on the surreal or even bizarre.
The ongoing product recall crisis involving airbag inflators' producer by Takata took on even broader dimensions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicated this week that as many as 85 million potentially defective airbag inflators are still inside cars and trucks now being driven across the United States. That number is supposedly in addition to the nearly 29 million inflators that have already been designated for replacement in the ongoing massive product recall campaign. Reports indicate that thus far, at least 11 people have died and over 400 have been injured by defective airbag inflators.
There are many facets compounding this overall logistical challenge. NHTSA itself indicates that because of inadequate reporting information from automotive producers, the agency does not exactly know how many vehicles are exposed to potentially defective airbag inflators that were produced by Takata. There are also multiple inflators installed in every vehicle. Add to this, that previous replaced inflators were not properly designed, causing a second recall.
As Supply Chain Matters has noted in our previous commentaries regarding this industry recall challenge, the problem of premature explosion of the inflators has been linked to long-term exposure to high humidity. Thus the failure profile can be linked to specific U.S. states whose climate matches such humidity, such as Florida and the U.S. Gulf Coast states. One potential fix to the problem has been the addition of dessicant drying agent material to the inflator to lessen the moisture caused by high humidity. That obviously implies a separate part identity.
The far broader problem is the sheer scope of the potential campaign. The government is not even sure it has the authority to mandate a recall of such volume and with such monetary implications. With a potential of over 100 million inflators having to be eventually replaced, the recall campaign would obviously exceed current capacity for producing replacement parts, implying multiple years of effort. The sheer volume is of the magnitude of supporting the redesign of multiple new models of automobiles and trucks and would have to involve many more airbag inflator suppliers. As Supply Chain Matters noted earlier week, suppliers such as Autoliv have already benefited from the crisis, and with such massive numbers, other suppliers will benefit as well. And then there is the biggest question of all, who will pay for all of the replacement parts and installation costs.
The Donald Trump analogy of: "This is a HUGE problem" is an appropriate descriptor.
This saga and its implications will obviously test the limits of automotive service supply chains and dealers for many months to come.
Then the industry has the diesel engine emissions crisis involving certain Volkswagen produced models. Since our prior commentaries in late 2015, we have refrained from other updates because of the sheer kaleidoscope of bizarre actions by Volkswagen. First there was the sacking of senior corporate product design and quality executives. Then came the sacking of the top U.S. executive Michael Horn, who was revered by U.S. dealers, after Horn supposedly proposed monetary gestures to affected vehicle owners.
While the global auto maker has initiated a product recall plan for affected vehicles in Europe, the deadline for a plan to address polluting vehicles in the U.S. has come and gone and remains somewhat a work-in-progress. According to industry reports, VW continues to face upwards of $20 billion in potential fines as well as class-action lawsuits, not to mention a rather tense ongoing relationships with U.S. regulators and legislative bodies as well as its U.S. dealers.
Meanwhile VW senior executives had the shear nerve to position themselves for management bonuses. That had drawn the ire of executives of the IG Metall trade union who are influential members of the company's Supervisory Board. The news this week is that executive bonuses have now been squashed by that board. Details related to future actions that VW will take related to a recall plan for the U.S. are not expected until VW's board of directors meets later this month to review various investigative reports related to the U.S. emissions scandal.
The VW service management supply chain remains with lots of pending challenges and unknowns. Thousands of in-service diesel-powered vehicles may be subject to costly vehicle hardware and software fixes that potentially will involve significant labor hours per vehicle. Unsold diesel-powered vehicles remain in dealer lots awaiting a disposition as well. If a vehicle recall is initiated, individual owners are likely to very intolerant to repair times that extend over many, many months. Then again, what-if VW elects to buy-back certain models? That's a reverse supply chain challenge in the making.
Overall, automotive service management supply chains remain stressed and face unprecedented process and execution challenges in the coming months and years. There is obvious learning that will come from this ongoing multi-brand crisis, involving product-design, supplier quality and supplier management dimensions. Many consumers will be impacted and will get first-hand knowledge of the effects.

Major Automotive Supplier Component Safety Snafu is Another Supplier's Strategic Gain
As far back as 2014, Supply Chain Matters provided commentaries relative to the defective air bag inflator crisis that was impacting multiple global automotive brands. Even then, the product recalls involving airbag inflators supplied by Takata Corp. of Japan were estimated to be in the millions.
In an October 2014 posting, Supply Chain Matters echoed business media reports that brands such as Honda, were undertaking steps to seek out alternative suppliers, not only to provide augmented supplies of air bag inflators required to retrofit millions of recalled vehicles, but also to become a replacement supplier for current and future production needs. We noted that rival air bag suppliers that could benefit from the ongoing crisis included Autoliv, DaicelKey Safety Systems and TRW Automotive Holdings, which at the time was being acquired by German based ZF Friedrichshafen. We further pointed out that switching suppliers that support one or several global product platforms is somewhat more challenging from a timing perspective.
Flash forward to today and specifically a recent Bloomberg Businessweek report titled: The Company That Came out on Top After Takata's Air Bag Mess. The report indicates that largest automotive-safety parts company in the world has successfully been able to step in and respond to the Takata focused crisis. This supplier actually began supplying air bags as far back as 1980. Amid the current wave of product recalls, Autoliv produced inflators are noted as emerging relatively unscathed in the crisis.
The overall scope of the defective air bag inflators is massive, with upwards of 60 million recalled vehicles on a worldwide basis. Noted is that about 28 million Takata air bag inflators have been recalled in the U.S. alone.
Autoliv expects to produce 20 million replacement inflators since alternate production began in 2015, and extends through 2017. Once more, the supplier indicated to Bloomberg that it had won about half of all frontal air bag orders for newer cars last year. This supplier is forecasting sales growth of 7 percent annually, a fairly healthy rate for a lower-tiered automotive supplier.
Once more, Bloomberg points to Autoliv's newer focus on the supply of more sophisticated safety components for autonomous vehicles such as radar, vision sensors and other crash avoidance safety systems ranging from standard sedans to luxury vehicles. According to a recent Boston Consulting Group study, within the next decade, one in eight cars sold around the world will have autonomous features. Bloomberg reports that Autoliv components are contributing to autonomy features in cars like Daimler's new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which can steer itself in auto-pilot mode, brake in emergencies and evade obstructions. The company is also reportedly partnering with Volvo AB in a project called Drive Me that aims to have 100 self-driving cars on the roads in Gothenburg, Sweden next year.
In essence, this alternative supplier is not only benefitting from its abilities to step-up and respond to an immediate industry defective component crisis, but indeed, positioning from a product design strategy perspective to be a preferred supplier for future safety systems in multiple branded global vehicle platforms.
We have called reader attention to the ongoing Autoliv case study because it provides an ongoing example of how a major supply crisis and safety snafu can indeed lead to another supplier's opportunistic gain. More importantly, thinking beyond the tactical crisis window at-hand with a focus on what will be the alternative technology.
U.S. Automotive Producers With Ongoing Bad Habits
Supply Chain Matters has been observing how U.S. automotive producers continue to fall back on what we view as a bad habit- a reliance on big-ticket, larger margin trucks and SUV's for profitability and hence manufacturing strategy. Perhaps you have noticed this same trend.
These past few days have featured troubling news that points to the same tendencies. It is like an unhealthy habit that does not seem to abate and it reflects on both product demand as well as supply strategy aspects of the automotive supply chain.
These past months of an unprecedented global oil glut has led to sub two dollar per gallon pricing for gasoline, although that trend is changing with the spring fuel composition conversion. As reflected in past history, it has apparently motivated many U.S. consumers to once again buy shiny new automobiles and trucks at a very healthy pace. According to The Wall Street Journal, nearly 57 percent of vehicles sold in the U.S. were classified in the light truck category. Many of these consumers are seeking out the biggest and most feature laden pick-up trucks and luxury SUV's. Why not! With the occurrence of such low prices of gasoline, it's like suddenly reverting back to a bygone era, and doing so before it is too late. Perhaps we can choke that up to short-term memory loss.
At the same time, other consumers (we will keep the term generic), foresee the continuing overwhelming implications of climate change and the need for the global economy to substantially reduce dependence on fossil fuels. They perhaps have the insight that the era of sub $2 per gallon gasoline is temporary and much more dependent on ongoing geopolitics among oil producing and consuming nations.
As noted in a prior commentary, last week Tesla Motors unveiled its latest Model 3 all electric powered SUV with a declaration that the vehicle achieves 215 miles of operating range per charge, delivering superior performance with a starting price of $35,000 before incentives. Immediately, the Model 3 has garnered over 200,000 customer reservations, and yes, it will produced in Tesla's California assembly facility with the now infamous gigafactory producing lithium-ion batteries in Nevada.
A glance of this week's business headlines indicates a confirmation from Ford Motor on investing $1.6 billion for a new auto assembly facility in Mexico to produce the Ford Focus and other smaller sized vehicles. This is incremental to prior announcements to invest $2.5 billion in other Mexican based factory and supply chain facilities.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which previously touted that it could competitively produce smaller cars in U.S. factories, indicated it plans to cut upwards of 1600 jobs this summer at its existing Michigan based auto assembly facility which produces smaller vehicles. Overall, Fiat Chrysler is reportedly investing upwards of $1 billion to re-align manufacturing capacity towards larger vehicles.
Conversely, General Motors indicates that it will continue to build its smaller car models in the U.S. including the newly designed 2017 Chevrolet Bolt with an estimated 200 plus mile range and $40,000 price tag. That is in addition to the current hybrid powered Chevrolet Volt that provides 420 miles of driving range for a base price of $35,000. The Volt is assembled at GM's Detroit Hamtramck production facility.
Beyond the current rhetoric of these announcements reverberating in the current U.S. Presidential Election cycle, it is important to focus on what is occurring. These are not, from our lens, solely temporary adjustments in existing manufacturing capacity to reflect near-term changes in product demand brought about from consumer buying euphoria from dramatically lower fuel prices. Instead, the level of new investments implies strategic shifts in manufacturing capabilities towards non U.S. sites, perhaps a reflection of pending new global trade agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership and NAFTA that view North America as a contiguous trading, supplier and production zone.
Business strategy pragmatists will probably view these events as smart moves to insure larger margins on smaller, lower-margin vehicles. This is the consistent strategy of lowest cost direct labor but the tradeoff is often in product design and management more than likely residing a plane ride away. The counter-argument is that with so much of the production process now highly automated with robotics and additive manufacturing techniques, shouldn't direct labor costs be manageable regardless of location?
Organized labor likely views these moves as a betrayal of prior agreements made during the 2008-2009 bankruptcy crisis that surrounded the bulk of U.S. automotive OEM's. Chrysler and GM subsequently sought government bailout funding with assurances that there would be a continued U.S. manufacturing presence in small and larger car production alike.
From the sustainability strategy lens, we submit it is yet another fallback to an old and troubling habit, trading-off direct labor savings with added logistics and transportation costs.
Larger vehicles with higher fossil fuel consumption are added to the nation's byways while added surface transportation movements are required to transport smaller vehicles from Mexican supplier and final assembly facilities to various U.S. and Canadian consumption regions. The net result is more greenhouse gas emissions and an industry where certain producers view product strategy solely as a facilitator of near-term financial results vs. integrated product strategy and regionally based manufacturing flexibility that can produce either small or large vehicle models in any plant.
And so the habit of certain producers lives on, along with the overall implications. Short-term memory loss perhaps applies to certain consumers and producers.
Praise to Tesla and GM for continuing efforts toward broader strategy that insures sustainability for both the business and the planet.
