Mitsubishi

I really learned a lot working for Mitsubishi Motors. Meet a lot of great people there. I really enjoyed learning how a car was put together and got to do most of the work throughout my time there. It was truly fascinating to learn how things worked and also working with the robots and over head cranes and running the presses.
I just wish it didn't close down I would of stayed there until I retired. 
The people there were great and I loved the pay and benefits also. But when I work it's not all about the money I take pride in what I do and all the vehicles we made had my name on there so I wanted to do my best at all times. I was so proud of our product and loved being part of making the vehicles. I would take great pride in seeing our vehicles on the road. The only thing was there were times we spent more time at work than at home. Don't get me wrong I loved my job. But I do like to have some time with my family also. But I loved my job and I'm glad of the time I was able to work there. I truly miss it and the people.

A typical day starts off with a morning meeting directed toward what we will be addressing for the day.

Mitsubishi was great about training Engineers in all areas of the entire plant. 

As a Production Engineer in Stamping; traveling to japan for stamping die line try/buy offs, launching to New model parts, working with die modifications was a great learning experience.
Safety, Ergonomics, Quality, Purchasing, budget control all were a part of the learning process as well.

Management was well qualified for their position.
Always communicating and following up with weekly reviews as well as yearly reviews. 

The work place culture was very good.
Mitsubishi offered incentives to production employees for suggestions that would save the company money. 
The work place had a great cafeteria.
Mitsubishi had a lot of fun raisers. Fun golf tournaments, etc.

Hardest part of Mitsubishi was the language barrier with the Japanese engineers.

Mitsubishi was a great company to work for.

Very challenging place to work with great people to work with. A positive culture of hard work and getting the desired results. This plant was Mitsubishi's only North American assembly plant and as such, there was a lot of opportunity to have a broad range of experience including product development with the R&D community in Okazaki, Japan for manufacturing requirements of automation, workability, piece cost reduction, investment cost reduction, and quality improvement. The plant was highly automated with multi-model capability that provided a challenge for all departments. We had the very tough experience of launching this plant from a 'green field' site with a new workforce and subsequently launch (14) new products in the first 19 years.

We built quality products, but it seemed that the sales division was a little timid about building a large customer base.

Check and repair automotive paint for quality standards per company rules, remove/replace doors, hoods, hatches and fenders as needed.  Set panels, insure integrity of paint, repair or repaint.  Run conveyor system in industrial setting in control room as needed.  Quality control for shipping department, look for in system damage, repair or reject as necessary, prepare audit choices.

In any repetitive work environment coworkers are the key, team work a must, especially in quality control.  Great coworkers, like family after years of working together.

Management was a mixed bag, some knew what they were doing others just yes men.

When things went wrong and the painting robots programming went awry.

Coworkers were the best part and the comaraderie.

My days are very interesting. I manage maintenance operations in a highly automated auto manufacturing plant. I also plan and implement equipment and process improvements and preventative maintenance work.
I have knowledge and experience in many industrial control systems including PLC's, PC's, Robot controllers, etc. There is much integration of these systems through various means. I have acquired much knowledge through troubleshooting these integration systems. I also perform troubleshooting and improvement of equipment using these and other systems to increase up time.
The hardest part, but most educational part of my job is troubleshooting ethernet communications troubles.
I most enjoy the automation and highly technological aspect of my job and keeping this automation and technologies functioning properly.

The typical day starts at 6:30 AM at ends at 3:00PM. I've learned that through, consistent job processes and repetitious work, you can create a quality product. Working together as one unit we became exceptional at our jobs. we created the JD Powers gold winning Dodge Avenger, as well as other highly rated vehicles. We learned how to take direction for Group Leaders to maintain a steady production of cars built. Working as one unit, we learned how to help each other to maintain the quality in our work. The hardest part of the job was working the overtime in the summer months, with high temps running in the plant. Seeing coworkers, who you worked with for many years, leave for retirement, new jobs, and simply moving away. the most enjoyable part, was to buy a car knowing the time and effort you put into it, and loving the ride.

What is the best part of working at the company?
 The food and beverage side of this company is managed by a "Like Minded" team of men who practice old school mentality and the best part is that if you do not comply or agree, you can leave and find a better job, before they push you out.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Created goals and budgets that are designed so that you fail, although your efforts are still creating revenue and generating profit.  Its an environment manipulated and controlled with exceptions and much red tape.  You will not win or ever achieve full budget potential by design.   

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The worst.  No one is happy, unless you are apart of the Executive team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Anxiety, micro management and stress.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you have as coworkers are the best part. Everyone has a positive attitude and makes you feel welcome from the start, plus they’re very collaborative. The working conditions are excellent, giving you the freedom and tools to get your job done. Great benefits, along with the sense that there’s a clear long-term goal you feel a part of.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The stress is just the usual you’d find in any job. When project deadlines come up, you’ve got to deliver.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a culture of collaboration, where everyone contributes to achieving the set goals.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work on assigned projects and handle production support cases that take priority.

A very lean automobile manufacturing facility that started from scratch and developed into one of the most efficient plants in the world at it's prime.  Five different models of vehicles were assembled on the same line without sacrificing quality and efficiency.  A task that is unheard of even by todays standards.  This feat shows the integrity of all involved from top to bottom. This process taught me to be as efficient as one can be, and how important it is for everyone to work well together at all levels.  There are so many factors involved to make any workplace successful.  Quality, efficiency, safety, communication, even employees attitudes are the foundation of a quality product of any kind.  That commitment was on display with the award winning vehicles produced at Mitsubishi. Something we can all be proud of.

During my time at Mitsubishi I was able to be reintroduced into the civilian world, after my time in the military i needed this experience. I was able to get my feet wet in the manufacturing industry. It was a solid experience that allowed me to be introduced to the robotics and mechanical systems that are so prevalent in todays industry. I was working with highly qualified electricians and machinists and was able to learn the basics of PLCs. This job was a good experience and i had a strong positive working relationship with my management.
