The Hiroshima plant’s Ujina plant No 1 (U1) and the Hofu plant’s Hofu plant No1 (H1) will resume night shift operations in February. Hiroshima’s Ujina plant No 2 (U2) and Hofu Plant No 2 (H2) will switch from a two-shift (day/night) production system (with night shift operations currently suspended in January) to a single day shift system.
Hiroshima and Hofu will suspend production on Fridays in February and March.
“In response to the continuing deterioration in global market conditions, these actions are being taken to manage inventory levels and maintain an appropriate balance in production supply. Mazda will continue to monitor unpredictable market conditions and will swiftly respond with appropriate measures going forward,” the automaker said in a statement.
With the implementation of these measures, employees who have been working bi weekly shifts in January due to suspended production will now commence a four day work week in February and March.
