Exclelent learning about parts
Its been an amazing 5 years for me coming from car side to parts side. I have leaned a lot in terms of parts analysis, marketing and pricing. My job require me to work with different departments. This has assisted me a lot to be able to work and develop relationships with fellow employees from other departments. I enjoy analysing which parts sell better and which ones have challenges. This enables me to do more research to understand where are we losing sales on specific parts groups and come up with campaigns to regain lost sales. I do a lot of pricing analysis to make sure that our parts are in line with the independent aftermarket to make sure we dont lose customers.
Pros: Ability to influence the market and Dealerships
Cons: Long processes that needs to be followed to change parts prices and approval of campaigns

A Challenging yet enjoyable working environment within a Global Powerhouse
A work day entails resolving queries of various user arrears-Overheads, Labour, CAPEX, compiling finance review presentations for areas and Costing Studies.I have excellent relationships with my colleagues and I am able to communicate at various levels within the organisation & have learnt key concepts in overhead control, budgeting & forecasting as well as costing of components.I have also learnt to remain calm under pressure & that I am a promoter of my own brand.I thoroughly enjoy Financial forecasting, negotiation, networking with various role players on critical decisions a compiling interesting studies for the Board of Management meetings. Some challenges include having user arrears realise the importance of specific deadlines in order to compile info in a timeous manner as well as the lack of flexibility within user arrears. Another challenge often faced is meeting the targets set by our mother company who does not fully understand the unique climate within the South African Manufacturing industry.
Pros: Opportunity for Promotion, a New challenge, Opportunity for self leadership and more responsibilty
Cons: Lack of Flexibilty, Change Averse on occasions
