Abstract

This case provides a context for discussing the GM PICOS team approach to supplier-cost reductions from the perspective of a member of the team who realizes his recommendations could displace a lot of supplier employees. Instructors should consider two companion cases, 'General Motors (B): Ignacio Lopez' and 'General Motors (C): Mike Ross'.
