The Region…from a VF Perspective • From the Quality Manager… • Not just a “end-of-line” audit anymore • Doing development approvals closer to the needle • Team approves protos, size sets, PPs & TOPs • They look at fit, color, graphic execution, etc • More than an auditor, we need a problem solver with a broad perspective • They need analytical skills to identify trends for a proactive approach, or just preventative maintenance • More than a vendor, we need a Partner • Vendors assume more responsibility for us – less babysitting
