Subsequently, there was a considerable decrease in the manufacture of General Motors, ranging from 32 hours to 24 hours between 1998 and 2004, until reaching a low of 22 hours by 2005. Initially, Ford witnessed a gradual rise to roughly 31 hours, until declining significantly to below 22 hours by the end of the year.
