ggered the recall of 2.6 million vehicles, has a new perception problem on
its hands.
The U.S. company is now considered the worst big automaker to deal with,
according to a new survey of top suppliers to the car industry in the United
States.
The annual survey, conducted by the automotive consultant group Planning
Perspectives, asks the industry's biggest suppliers to rate their
relationships with the six automakers that account for more than 85 percent
of all light vehicle sales in the United States.
Those so-called "Tier 1" suppliers say GM is now their least favorite big
customer, according to the rankings, less popular even than Chrysler, the
unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which since 2008 had consistently earned
that dubious distinction.
Suppliers gave GM low marks on all kinds of key measures, including its
overall trustworthiness, its communication skills, and its protection of
intellectual property.
The suppliers also said that GM was the automaker least likely to allow them
to raise prices to recoup unexpected material cost increases.
"As a result, GM is now the least preferred customer of suppliers," PPI says.
Nissan Motor overtook Ford Motor (F) for third place in PPI's Supplier
Working Relations Index, pushing Dearborn-based Ford into fourth place.
Toyota Motor (TM) and Honda Motor (HMC) finished in the No. 1 and No. 2
spots, respectively.
PPI, which has been conducting the survey for 14 years, says supplier
perceptions of automakers are critical because they can determine which car
makers see the suppliers' newest technologies first, get their best pricing
and work with their best engineers.
John Henke, the head of PPI and a research fellow at Center for Supply Chain
Management at Rutgers University, said the Japanese sweep of the top three
places suggested the industry "could be entering an era in supplier
relations that doesn't bode well for the U.S. Big Three."
The reason: the Japanese automakers aren't just benefiting from a
deterioration in relations between suppliers and the Big Three -- they are
actually rising in the estimation of their suppliers.
Toyota and Nissan, in particular, saw the percentage of suppliers who
characterized their relationship with the two automakers as "good or very
good" surge.
GM, meanwhile, is in an especially unenviable spot, with 55 percent of the
suppliers surveyed characterizing their relations with the automaker as "
poor to very poor," up from 48 percent last year.
One bit of good news for GM. When the list of car makers was expanded to
include the three German auto companies, which have a far less significant
market share in the U.S., suppliers said Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and
Volkswagen were even harder to deal with.
But because BMW ranked second in the expanded list, just below Toyota but
ahead of Honda, GM's overall position fell to seventh place in the supplier'
s rankings.

I think these folk just about have it right….If GM disappeared off the face
of the Earth tomorrow, I doubt that anyone would miss them….except for
Corvette lovers perhaps… and there are only about 6 or 7 of them.

First, Goon Motors and the Panderer in Chief destroyed thousands of American
jobs, while robbing innocent Americans of their retirement income.
Apparently, it's now time for the mouth-breathers to pour a little salt in
the gaping wound.

Seems that we lost over $11BILLION$ on "saving" the underfunded UAW
Retirement Plan at the expense of both GM bond holders, (most of which were
other people's retirement investments, and supposedly "secure" under
Bankruptcy Law) and American taxpayers alike.
Since then, Government Union Motors has never been "profitable" under
accepted accounting practices, and their reputation as arrogant hogs now
firmly enshrined in their suppliers' minds.
YUP!!!! That's what's called a "success story" in the Obama mis-
Administration.

Break up GM. It's too big for it's own good. This would have happened if the
government had not stepped in.
My family and I balk at the idea of buying GM vehicles these days. Honda all
the way for us. They never need maintenance, never need repairs, cheap to
insure ($25/month from Insurance Panda), cheap to fill up ($25 thanks to
GasBuddy app), and overall a pleasure to drive. Making a big deal out of
nothing! but props to Honda to make sure all their bases are covered... what
a classy company. A+
As for GM? I would never do business with them.
