It's day one of Chrysler's Windsor Assembly Plant closure.
Senior Assembly Manufacturing Manager John Desjardins is excited, as his part of the facility will see 80% of its processes change.
He says there hasn't been a transformation like this at the plant in decades. "Windsor is due. The history here has been a good one for the minivan -- 30 years of exciting product delivered to the customer. Now this takes us to the next level, from a process change to a capital change, and for the long-term investment of the plant."
Desjardins says it's been a long process, getting all of the employees ready for what's to come, and there's still walk throughs, reviews and training to come before the plant re-opens on May 25.
