Chinese Foxconn Remove management restrictions
Budrigannews.com – On December 8, Apple (NASDAQ:) In a statement that was posted on its WeChat account, supplier Foxconn announced that its COVID-hit Zhengzhou facility in China had removed its “closed-loop” management restrictions on Thursday.
According to the statement, Foxconn’s plant was isolated from the rest of the world for 56 days thanks to a so-called closed-loop system in the Zhengzhou industrial park.
According to a company source who spoke with Reuters on Monday, the Zhengzhou plant is expected to resume full production sometime between the end of December and the beginning of January. The world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer has been working to find new employees for the location after thousands of people left over the course of the past month.
When a COVID-19 outbreak struck its Zhengzhou plant in October, it imposed stringent restrictions that included isolating many employees. This, in turn, made workers more afraid and unsatisfied, forcing many of them to isolate themselves or run away. It was hit by a fresh round of worker unrest later in November, with employees arguing with security guards over bonus payment issues.

Reuters, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, reported last month that Foxconn could have experienced an impact on more than 30% of the production at the Zhengzhou site in November. The disruption, which occurred during Apple’s traditionally busy time leading up to Christmas and the Lunar New Year holidays in January, has not been fully disclosed by Foxconn.
Due to issues with COVID controls at the major iPhone factory, the company’s November revenue decreased 11.4% year-over-year.
