They need to do a thorough background check first. Any convictions or speeding points and they’ll renege on the offerHow long, after applying for a manufacturing position here in Sunderland, does it usually take until you start?

Friend of mine's brother is an engineer with Nissan in Barcelona. Last week he was sent to Tangiers to help look for site of new macro- factory. He says it is direct threat to the future of the Sunderland plant.
God help Sunderland, the region and our club if this is true.
you can unplug a call centre and move it piss easy! A skilled automated car plant with a skilled automated supply chain operating JIT/kanban to Nissan quality ppm is a different beast altogether.A car plant in Africa being a threat to the Sunderland plant?
Nah.

Nah.
Not true. Half the cars built in Sunderland are shipped to mainland Europe.Nissans biggest market in Europe is the UK. They no where there bread is buttered
This. Too much skill and infrastructure here to just up-sticks and go in blind and expect a bunch of unskilled workers to launch new models and satisfy customer demand.They'll be hard pressed to find the required quality of staff.

Internal Competitive tendering model means they wont win everything they go for but recent investment there and awarding of Infiniti is a massive vote of confidence in the plant
Shipyards went.
Nissan can go.
It's up to the person to find work, not work to find the person.
doubt the supply chain would want to take a chance if the penalties for stopping lines in body shop or T&C were set to same % of cost as here.There's already a plant in Tangiers the new plant could be built in the vicinity of, thus the skilled automated supply chain operating JIT/kanban to Nissan quality ppm is in place in Morocco and nearby as it stands.
So people will have to leave to find work if Nissan and their supply chain go, possibly seeing Sunderland's situation resemble Detroit?

Automated plant takes a lot of setting up as does achieving quality ppm. Cant see them walking away from plant here just like that with investment in plant but as I said above internal competitive tendering may mean they dont win new models to replace those being phased out
I know the supply chain marra most (if not all) of whom are as you would expect with links to Japan. Unipres themselves had plenty problems supplying Nissan a good few years ago which is why they were told to change their name!I hear you, however, look at examples of companies in the local supply chain.
You have Unipres next door who are Japanese, Miking up the road who are a Japanese joint venture with steel stockists William King and American company Lear down in Houghton-le-Spring, all of whom could up and off easily. Factory equipment is surprisingly easy to relocate, with replication of layout at a purpose-built site not really that much of a problem. The intellectual information for the automated set-ups is in place, meaning unlike initial set-up, replication is not as difficult as you might think.
Whilst not a direct example, there's an oil and gas company on the Team Valley. It came close to closure early 2017 and only a major upsurge in business saved it. Equipment, factory set ups and supply chain were already in place to relocate production to India and the USA, where the parent company were based.
We'll agree to disagree here.

Agree to disagree indeed and the clue in my username is I dont expect you to be back saying " I told you so"
nah, worked in the sector with supply base big players and on plant as well plenty assisting them with new starts.You sound like you're in Nissan QA or at least in the QA department of a closely related company.
