The bonuses were paid for meeting several goals set for CY 2006. This internal "report card" is for one month. It's quite possible that Ford will meet all of it's goals for '07, and pay bonuses again.
Larger if more goals are met/exceeded and smaller if less goals are met. The monthly report card helps point out areas were the company will need to pick up the slack for the remainder of the year, but the bonuses are/were determined by using full year metrics.
Now here's my question: if Ford does not meet it's internal targets for several months, will they lower their targets to an attainable level for the remainder of the year? I would hope not; otherwise it would seem that the 'bonuses' really aren't related to any merit.
