General Motors' Plan to Boost Pickup Production Hits a Snag: Not Enough Parts

General Motors' (NYSE: GM) plan to ramp up production of high-profit pickups has hit a snag: Short supplies of key parts from Mexico. GM, along with the other Detroit automakers, restarted some of its U.S. assembly plants on Monday. GM restarted its pickup factories in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Flint, Michigan, with just one shift of workers at each plant as it worked through new safety procedures.
