So my accounting professor was at Ford for years and uses automotive manufacturing examples in his homework...which is nice. I think it’s going to dramatically increase how much I enjoy the assignments. Here is a sample from the latest where I provide financial justification for automation vs manual labor on the “F-350 Thunderbird”

“· Finally, serious scrutiny ought to be given towards the name “thunderbird” as a model designator for the F-350. As the last generation thunderbird owners will all have surely died out by now its brand recognition value is therefore suspect. I humbly suggest ThuderCougarFalconBird as a suitable replacement, or perhaps “Supreme Ruler Ranch”

Thats all.
