Abillity to take a sound basic design and make it cheap, nasty and unreliable, expensive to repair using "unique to manufacturer" fittings.

What about spot welding, riveting, or crimping previously serviceable components with extensive use of interference fits.

But the most important part of this job description has been omitted, precise calculation of statistical MTBF's of 36,000 miles or 36 months from an unknown date of sale, whichever comes first.

Hi Rachela,
It's almost like walking on H2O.
Seriously, this job description is thorough enough to be genuine.
Is this supplier to OEMs Behr, Delphi, Vistion, Modine or Valeo?
Where is the base location?
What about aditional background in TS16949 and Certified Quality Eng.?
