THE HARBOUR REPORT 2008
Oliver Wyman joined forces with Harbour Consulting to create an integrated offering of strategic, organizational and operational expertise with a unique reputation for performance benchmarking and lean production.


Efficiency and productivity are key elements to any successful manufacturing endeavor. The Harbour Report is a comprehensive annual view of how North American automobile manufacturers stack up on clearly defined metrics of productivity. This discussion will focus on The Harbour Report 2008 and the story behind it. Who are the best and what separates them from the rest? Which automakers are improving the most? What strategies are different companies pursuing to raise productivity? What does the data show about the future? Which companies have the most unused capacity and what are they doing about it? Some of the findings will surprise you.
