Virtual Manufacturing Technology A Big Factor Behind Ford's Continually Improving Quality

[ford.media.com: Press Release]

As an industry leader in virtual technology, Ford Motor Company’s use of these technologies is a big factor of what’s behind the company’s soaring quality performance. Ford's virtual ergonomic tool set predicts and eliminates movement and fatigue issues for assembly operators using digital employees known as Jack and Jill. The virtual build tool set ensures manufacturing feasibility long before physical prototypes are built, allowing designers, engineers and suppliers to make upstream, cost-efficient fixes.

As diesel fans around the world anticipate National Biodiesel Day on March 18, the birthday of the famed engine inventor, Rudolf Diesel, Ford readies for customers the new 2011 Super Duty and its all-new 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged diesel engine with unsurpassed biodiesel compatibility.

Ford is adding an exciting new element to its sponsorship of the hit television series “American Idol,” giving the top 12 Idols a unique opportunity to work with Ford designers and create their own personalized 2011 Ford Fiesta.

Hello from Cologne to all the other Mustangs in foreign countries !
I went to Germany in the year 2006 and was sold to a guy who has been working for Ford for more than
23 years!! After a Ford Taunus in 1981, several Ford Escorts and several Ford Fiestas in the following years I am now his absolute favorite. He loves me and takes me to lots of Ford Mustang Reunions here in Germany. Meanwhile I have several Pony friends here :-)))
Good Luck to all of you !

Ford vehicles are still durable and easy to handle, but the women behind the wheel bear little resemblance to the hothouse flower of yesteryear.
