Nov. of 1997 to Feb. of 2003

Special Assignment: International Quality Manager as we were downsizing I had to transfer our business. Transferred business overseas: Our pneumatic control valve was given to a company in France that would use an electronic control valve that would reduce the warranty in half and supply a lot more capability. I took the product performance data to them outside of Lille, France. The V7 compressor design and processes I validated in a manual build in Moraine, Ohio. The PFMEA process took about two thousand hours from Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Manufacturing, Repair Operators, Suppliers and Quality. This was a new designed compressor. Once the PFMEA was done, I took it to Daewoo Automotive Components in Daegu, South Korea. I had been there before on our joint venture V5 compressor on quality issues. Our Executive for the Far East, Frank Hoditz, had me stay there for a month to resolve different quality issues.

Once I had to fly to Zurick, Switzerland and take a train to Aarau, Switzerland. I picked up a warranty Opel compressor for a boundary sample of a failed compressor. I took this compressor to Daegu, South Korea and resolved the problem with the help of Product Engineering in Lockport, New York. The design could not be used in the manufacturing process. DAC failed to catch it in their APQP sign-off. A call was placed to Ohio and we had a good design suction shipment expedited in to keep production going. I had to collect lab validations and supply the information to General Motors for the new sourced suppliers. November of 1998 to March of 1999.
