CAMI Assembly (formerly CAMI (Canadian Automotive Manufacturing Inc.) Automotive) is an assembly plant wholly owned by General Motors Canada. The plant occupies 570 acres (230 ha) and has 1,700,000 square feet (157,900 m2) of floor space of which 400,000 square feet (37,161 m2) was added in 2016,[2] as part of a $560 million investment.[3]
CAMI uses the CAMI Production System (CPS), a set of operating philosophies that guide team members in manufacturing vehicles. The basis of the system is working in teams performing standardized work. This is based on the Japanese production system, which is built on a team concept.[4]
Ownership of CAMI was originally split 50-50% between Suzuki and General Motors Canada; GM took full ownership in December 2009. In 2022 production at the facility shifted to the BrightDrop light commercial electric vehicles platform, and BrightDrop Zevo vans are now manufactured there.
