All in a days work
A typical working day is normally 8am to 4.30 pm Monday to Friday, however I am required to work extra hours to complete additional tasks that was given. I have a good and pleasant working relationship with my co-workers. We share a common goal and that is to contribute to the success of the department and the company. We work hard and we crack a few jokes during the day to ease some of the tension. Our Senior management is mainly French as this is a French owned company. being in the Automotive industry, I have gained valuable knowledge on exhaust systems as well as tooling. Before coming to Faurecia, I was mainly in Credit Control. Here I have a dual function, Balance Sheet Reconciliations as well as Debtors Control with a Debtors book of about R 1b. One of the most challenging aspects of my job is that I have 2(two) managers that I report to, Debtors as well as Finance manager and in most cases there are no communications between the two and expect deadlines to be met, even if its the same day.
Pros: I am currently contracting and there is a prospect of becoming permanant in the coming future as i am currently performing work of 2 people.
Cons: When every one have a deadline and everything you have been assigned need to be done as in yesterday.

Vast experience
Working at faurecia is challenging as it entails high demands. In a matrix structured organization it is requires a person to report to direct and in direct senior managers. The majority of the staff are new and inexperienced which calls for coaching, reviewing of proposals and guiding in order to build a competent team. In my year at the company i have worked in the maintenance department as im a qualified tradesman, manufacturing ( process engineering), project management and in the new product launch department. I was part of the migration team to implement SAP and thrrefore a key user for masterdata. I wear more than one hat as i support SAP activities related to masterdata, process engineering, maintenance when required, program management and coach and guide the launch team to successful launches.
Pros: Great exposure
Cons: No room for growth

Frustrating Faurecia
Working at Faurecia was most frustrating and agonising. Their systems are cumbersome and it is design to police which is in line with archaic quality control methods. The modern world aims for Quality Assurance and Total Quality Management methodologies. The most enjoyable aspect of the work are the shopfloor personnel with their friendly disposition.
Pros: Great area to learn surfing skills.
Cons: Getting pestered after hours and all round the clock weekends with production, breakdowns or quality issues.
