Ford Motor Co. Appoints New Head of Quality

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) confirmed on Wednesday the appointment of a new head of quality. This change aims to enhance Ford's record on recalls and reduce warranty costs.

Jim Baumbick, who has been leading the quality control team since late 2022, will transition his responsibilities to an unnamed successor. He will now concentrate on managing Electric Vehicle (EV) programs, including oversight of the vehicle programs team, which ensures cost and timing efficiency. This team also manages product development operations.

This role shift, announced to some Ford employees internally last week, is set to take effect early next year.

A Ford spokesperson stated that these changes would facilitate better collaboration and efficiency, allowing the teams to deliver innovative vehicles and software at the highest quality for customers.
