However, not all factories will return to full operation at once, and production will resume for some sites and tasks.
Before resuming production, we will prepare to resume production in order to ensure maximum safety for employees and to return production to full operation.
It is stated that all employees will gradually resume work due to the increase in production at the main factory of Zuffenhausen and Leipzig, and the process in production, logistics and procurement , It has already been agreed with the Labor-Management Council (Works Council) in the health management department.
According to Albrecht Reimold, Porsche AG's production and logistics officer:
“Resuming production with special care is very important for both employees and customers. This time, we have been very careful in monitoring, analyzing and responding to the situation from the beginning. And now is the time to positively resume work. "
It was emphasized that the safety of employees was the first priority when resuming production, for example, the staff in charge of production should take a distance of at least 1.5 meters, or it was decided. It seems that they follow the rules such as working with face masks in places where they are.

After that, Porsche Japan also announced a press in Japanese, but for some reason it was written that the distance taken by the staff was "about 2 meters". The original text is 1.5 meters, so I wrote it at 1.5 meters ... Why did the numbers change when it came to Japanese? It's understandable that the way sentences are perceived changes, but is it strange that the numbers change? ??

"It takes a great deal of effort to bring the economic and social systems back into operation, and everyone must contribute to it."
"It's important to be positive. Every crisis offers new opportunities at the same time. We want to make the most of those opportunities."
Although production has resumed, measures are still being taken.
PorscheFrom March 21, 2020, the Zufenhausen factory and the Leipzig factory will be closed.And production was stopped.
after that,I was thinking about what to do after seeing the situationAfter all, we decided to stop production for a total of 6 weeks due to supply chain problems.
But six weeks after coming here, production will finally resume. Is the supply chain (procurement of goods), which is the reason why the factory closure was postponed last time, somehow managed? ??
As a preventive measure for this corona, Porsche decided not only to temporarily close the factory and stop production, but also to take some other strict measures, such as mobile working. , Meetings are held by video or phone, business trips are prohibited, etc., but these will continue to be applied in the future.
