Until I implement Country/District grouping in 1.19, it's a little bit of a pain in the butt. Typically how I manage big companies is to use the sales book and the mega menu. In the sales book you can see the global sales of a vehicle, production, and inventories. With that info I will go into the mega menu and look through my factories to see who is over producing.
There is also a helpful report that breaks down each vehicle's production. If you set that to end turn, every turn it will come up and you can see which factory is over producing which vehicle. On the branch level, I typically use the auto tools and Assign All buttons. Rarely do I try to micro manage that. In 1.19 we should be able to fix most of the issues with managing a large company with the above mentioned Country/District grouping feature. With that you'll be able to manage entire factories/branches as if they're one factory or branch. It should ease up some of the micromanaging.

thanks for the quick reply i'll look forward to that in 1.19 sounds exellent
one report i find really useful is sold production inventories by city But it seems this only works properly if you have a branch in the same city as your factory if you dont the model names are not visable, know bug? what does the Assign All buttons do? thanks for the quick reply

Next time I get around to fixing up the salesbook/reports I'll hopefully fix this. Quote:what does the Assign All buttons do? Exactly what it says, it "Assigns to All" so lets say you set a car model for $1000, and hit assign all. Then all your branches in the world would be selling that car model for $1000.

Is add trim and next year model working as they should
it would be nice to be able to have the same car with 1 or more engines but currently to do that its the same cost as redesgining the whole car
