2017 CADILLAC XT5

VALUE CREATION FROM CUSTOMER RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING REACH
The center-console storage space happened through my efforts on several fronts:
  • Gathered product research at auto shows and online that showed an emerging trend of creating more storage opportunities throughout vehicle interiors, both domestic and globally.
  • Presented those results to Program Leadership to leverage them to initiate the project as mainstream (it was no more than a “study” up until that point).
  • Took mainstream direction as “gospel” and spent time with the B-side team, HVAC, electrical and structural engineering teams to enable the project as beautifully as budget, time and talent would allow.
  • ​Finalized design’s components to DFM/DFA (Design For Manufacture, Design For Assembly)
