There IS a God!
Just received word from a friend that Ford yanked their Q1 over some bullstuff issue. The company president just notified Ford that if they did there would be no more shipments, that they will consider all Ford contracts void and will not accept any future Ford business.
Awaiting developments. Will let you know if (how quickly) Ford gives in.

What are they supplying Ford with? If they are not a sole source supplier I doubt Ford will "give in".

I'm not sure if they're sole source - I believe they are. I enjoy seeing, but have rarely seen (only once before), a company stand up and tell Ford to go fly a kite after being beaten up over some trivial issue. I can say the company's Q1 status was definitely revoked effective today.
I can't go into any specifics for obvious reasons, but according to my contact people at the company involved supposedly are cheering.

The company your friend works for may consider the items "trivial" but it is pretty obvious Ford does not. Without knowing the specifics it is hard to say. However if they are not a sole source supplier to Ford it may hurt them more than it does Ford espically if Ford is thier largest or one of their largest clients. Just some thoughts.

Obviously, Ford is not the only (or even major) customer for this company. It would be interesting to see if Ford gives in ( and set a precedence?)

Atul, you assume that Ford is not their largest customer. I don't think Ford will give in, remember for every supplier that does not want fords business there are 50 more waiting in line to serve them.

I just have to ask what specifically was the noncomformance, Ford does not just arbitrarily yank Q1 unless there is a reason or ongoing deficiency.
Does anybody think that Ford would pull the Q1 unless they had another source?
More power to the owner that told Ford to kiss his A**, he obviously has other concerns that don't include Ford.
I think there is more to the story?

And I'm sure this person will blame it on the employees when comes time for the layoffs.
