I was a Team Leader in Honda's industry-leading Purchasing Department. As part of the New Model Development Group, our team worked with suppliers to bring new designs on-line in preparation for mass production. New Model Deveopment was at the forefront of Honda's "continuous improvement" philosophy - searching for a better (smarter, safer, and more efficient) way for every process.
