Honda adds second shift;

Honda will be adding a second shift to produce more of its Civic model at its plant in Indiana, and other models which are in high demand like the Mazda MX 5 can be purchased at a local dealership. The Civic has been selling in large quantities and Honda has not been able to keep up with local demand, so the company is adding more jobs to produce more of the Civic in North America. Other North American models that are based in Japan can be purchased from a Sarasota Mazda dealership.

Honda will be adding 1,000 workers at its Greensburg, Indiana plant by the end of the year, and it will also be adding a second production shift at the plant. Honda was hit hard by the earthquake which has reduced production of the Civic and slowed down the production of the redesigned 2012 model. Honda production is expected to return to normal for other models but not the Civic. Honda said that its suppliers can support two shifts of Civic production at the plant

Honda has spent over two months working to set up its supply chain and Honda said that it now has a better view of where its parts are coming from and in what quantities that they will be available. Honda said that it has more control over its supply chain now as well. Civic production is not expected to return to normal anytime soon and Honda did not comment on when production of the vehicle would return to normal. Honda said earlier that other North American vehicles would return to normal production before the Civic. Other Honda vehicles have not been as heavily affected by the earthquake and parts shortages as the Civic.
