This article by Colin Whitbread for Automotive World discusses the results of the 2009 Annual Survey in wonderful detail. While most people are primarily talking about Honda’s and Toyota’s surprising rankings (which he naturally discusses as well), Whitbread focuses a little more on our domestic OEMs, especially Ford. Automotive World is based out of the UK.

Survey says: Auto suppliers like working with Honda best

Rick Haglund’s blog on mlive.com discusses how Honda has now overtaken the top spot in supplier relations over Toyota. It also discusses how important supplier relations are going to be for Chrysler during this period of bankruptcy:
“If Chrysler doesn’t change its ways, it is going to be in big trouble, regardless of how it comes out of bankruptcy. Chrysler needs its suppliers more than ever; it cannot survive without them. Right now, Chrysler’s suppliers are not doing anything to support the company because of the treatment they’ve been getting for the past two years. With its relatively new VP of Purchasing in place and as the bankruptcy settles down Chrysler will hopefully return to improving the way it works with its suppliers as it was doing in 2004 – 2006.” – Dr. John Henke
