In the brief time I was with the company I was responsible for the worldwide engineering with groups in Australia, USA and Great Britain. I developed a plan to move manufacturing from Korea to Mexico as part of the maquiladora program (free trade zone) including all of the costs involved and future cost savings. Began the implementation of a new global PDM system to manage drawings, CAD models and all of the supporting data for new product development.
