Delphi Asia Shanghai Office Work Values

Daily Duties at Delphi Asia Shanghai Office :

Responsible for all Cost Improvement Initiatives at 9 Delphi sites in 5 Countries. We had a 10% saving target per year. We eclipsed that target so was given a revised targets of 12% and 15% per year. Every part with a purchased value over $50,000/year had to have a plan which I and the respective 40 Buyers (not direct reports but dotted line indirect report to me) managed and reported progress on bi-monthly. Finding Local Suppliers was one of the ways to reduce cost. Negotiations with existing Suppliers and design changes were equally effective. During this period, I also conducted several VA/VE - Value Analysis/Value Engineering workshops which focused on design changes to lead to cost improvement. Simultaneously, during that period, Delphi Asia's sales were growing at 25% to 35% per year so I supported the launching of new products when serious issues threatened to delay its timely launch.

What they like about Delphi Asia Shanghai Office :

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
