BERLIN: Volkswagen said the impact of production stoppages on staff hours caused by a dispute with two parts suppliers has been significantly reduced thanks to internal remedies.
Volkswagen (VW) will take advantage of "internal flexibilisation measures" at five of six plants affected by supply chain problems to cushion the impact of output disruptions on working hours, it said on Friday.
VW applied for support under the government's "Kurzarbeit" short-time work programme only at its factory in Emden where production of Passat models was halted after one of the suppliers stopped delivering seat covers.
