Vehicle engineering expert development program
PATAC, a 50％ -50％ joint venture of GM and SAIC, was capitalized 1997 and was chartered to develop the next generation vehicles for China and focus automotive engineering capability in 4 core areas: interior, exterior, PT calibration and chassis tuning. In 2000 the vision was expanded to locally develop complete vehicles and serve the needs of the Pan Asia automotive industry.PATAC is one of several GM regional engineering centers. GMs strategy is to regionally develop local products, which meets regional customer requirements by leveraging GMs global capacity, such as technical expertise, platforms and components as well as processes and working procedures. In many cases this means also shared development where two or more regions cooperate around parts of the engineering work.It is obvious that this globalization as well as the need to deliver great products at the market by using shorter lead times requires well-educated and skilled engineers. This increased complexity in the working environment requires both high quality educations at universities in alignment with the industry needs as well as extensive internal trainingprograms with the objective to close the more industry specific competence gaps as well as improving a variety of interpersonal skills. It is also important that these internal training programs is connected to each engineers career path and the connection as well as the progress has to be clearly visualized.Consequently, PATAC is running a systematical training program composed with lecture training and on job training, and is facilitated with 5 level evaluation system and Dual Career Develop path program to integrate it with Engineers career.This is PATACs Vehicle Engineering Expert Program.
