Nissan is adjusting production plans at assembly plants in the U.
S.
and Mexico amid a persistent global shortage of chips

In the U.
S.
, the company will implement a regular production schedule of 5 days a week, 8 hours a day at Lines 1 and 2 at its Smyrna, Tennessee, plant

The Canton, Mississippi, assembly plant will continue to run Line 1 on a four-day-a-week, eight-hour-a-day production reduction schedule in June

Line 2, which produces the Altima, will only be in production during the first week of June, with the weeks of June 7, June 14 and June 21 being scheduled as non-production weeks

In Mexico, the automaker plans to suspend production at Plant 1 in Aguascalientes for seven days and Plant 2 for one day in June
