Challenge my Application Engineering team to look for savings ideas to reduce cost improving the product design.

This gave to the company 1 million of annual savings.

Start the Engineering department. I lead this project, and the goal was to implement the Engineering locally (in Mexico) instead of depending on the Technical center in the USA.

I hired a group of 3 Product Engineers and one CAD designer. I sent them to train for a period of time (from 1 to 2 years) to the technical center and  from there the department was fully consolidated and leading any new change on the products running in Mexico.

The know/how stayed locally, the reaction time was more short and the communication with the Customers was direct.

Lead the implementation of the Prototype Team, that included the human resources (Engineers, technicians, etc). This project was focused on launching the assembly of new products locally (in Mexico). Prior to that, everything was developed and made in the Technical Center in the USA. 

With this project, the company saved money and time, making more profitable the construction and sales of the prototype parts. 

The testing lab was a project that I launched, the main goal was to perform all the Product Validation in Mexico, this included environmental testing, vibration and some other. 

I requested our government for some economical benefits in order to support the launch of this program. This was participating in a program where we showed them that the project had several benefits for the growth of our Country 

At the end the result was to install and run the following equipment.

• Vibration cell with a chamber
• 2 humidity chambers
• 2 thermal shock chambers
