Thank you to our partners at Subaru of Indiana Automotive for hosting us at the only Subaru factory outside of Japan. They manufacture and assemble over 1600 cars daily. Going on a car factory tour as part of an MBA program isn’t just about seeing the assembly line in action. It’s a deep dive into the heart of operational excellence, lean management, and innovation at work. As future business leaders, we gain invaluable insights into: Real-world application of theories learned in class. Efficiency and quality control processes that drive the automotive industry. Sustainability practices in manufacturing. Leadership and teamwork in a high-stakes environment. These tours bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical application, providing us with a tangible connection to the concepts that will shape our careers. They’re not just tours; they’re a preview of the future we’re driving towards. #MBA #BusinessEducation #OperationalExcellence #Innovation #Leadership Indiana University - Kelley School of Business Indiana University Indianapolis Kelley School of Business Evening MBA Program

We'd like to thank Crain's Detroit Business for publishing this impactful op-ed on Michigan's #education system written by our President and CEO, Ronald E. Hall, and 42 North Partners, LLC founder, Mike Jandernoa. Both are executive committee members on the Business Leaders for Michigan board. Here's a preview of the editorial: "Our K-12 public education system is not doing right by our kids. The crux of this crisis is unfolding in our own backyards. A new analysis comparing #Michigan public school district performance against peer districts in top-performing states shows that nearly every district isn’t keeping up with the competition. From the Upper Peninsula to the southern corners of the state, and from suburbs to rural communities, Michigan students are trailing their peers. Without a strong educational foundation, Michigan will continue to struggle to grow, and our children will lose out on what we all want most for them — opportunity."

Stellantis is facing headwinds that highlight broader challenges within the automotive industry. The recent announcement of 1,100 layoffs at the Toledo Assembly Complex, driven by plummeting Jeep sales and bulging inventories, serves as a wake-up call for legacy automakers. As the market shifts towards electrification and consumer buying patterns change, Stellantis' struggle to maintain its foothold in a competitive SUV segment raises alarm bells. While they’ve rolled out a compensation package for laid-off employees, it’s clear that these layoffs reflect deeper operational inefficiencies and market stagnation. Investors are watching closely as stock ratings slide and profit warnings mount. This situation underlines a critical question: can Stellantis adapt quickly enough, or is it doomed to become a mere relic in an evolving market? The pressure is on for strategic pivots and meaningful innovations. The automotive landscape is changing—how will Stellantis respond?

As we reflect on this year’s Economic Impact Report, we have a lot to be proud of. Not only did we surpass the Detroit-3 in vehicle production for the first time, but we also demonstrated our continued commitment to investing in our communities across the country. From deploying 337 workforce development programs nationwide to contributing $328 billion to U.S. GDP, international automakers have made a significant impact nationwide and will continue to do so for years to come.
