PERODUA is currently the largest car manufacturer in Malaysia (data from MAA 2007) was formerly known as 2nd National Car producer. When i started working at Perodua, that time the minority shareholder Daihatsu (the technology provider) want to increase their share to majority and this negotiation got realize on 2000. Several japanese manager from Daihatsu starting their work at Perodua from middle of 2000 and that why Perodua need Japanese university graduate to make sure the technology transfer will smoothly done.
Starting know nothing as Body Engineer or some factory called welding engineer, i done the probation period as operator, team leader, supervisor and lastly as middle management. Actually the operator, team leader & supervisor jobscope learning was not in my probation program but as my passion to automotive, I willing to dirty my uniform to make sure get hand on experience even every day I need to translate the SOP (Stardard Operation Procedure).
All my Japanese bosses always asked me to assist them when their have meeting or give training even not related to my job scope. From this also I gain more knowledge that anybody else can't get. But when time arguement with Malaysian bosses, I got struck. I need to tell truth what the Japanese Bosses found in shop floor and in the same time to make sure my local bosses stay calm even want to protect their others local staff.
