2018 NAQCC: Spotlight on Team Hybridos

DENSO Mexico’s enthusiasm, dedication and creativity to kaizen shine every year at the North America Quality Circle Competition (NAQCC)*. Boasting a winning team for the last 10 years, DENSO Mexico (DNMX) didn’t disappoint this year with Team Hybridos achieving the Benchmark Award, the highest honor at the NAQCC event. Taking home the top honors allows Team Hybridos to move on to the next level in the kaizen competition, representing North America in the global competition in Japan next month.

Team Hybridos focused on reducing the LSH (linear solenoid) control pressure defect often found during the inspection process. The process was analyzed in close collaboration with DENSO Japan. As the team was implementing countermeasures, they unearthed another leakage defect and were able to tackle that issue too! In the end, both defects were eliminated, in turn improving KPIs for inspection defects, scrap and operation ratio.

While the team made significant improvements to DENSO’s overall quality and business operations, they walked away with individual successes as well:

“With this competition, I was able to move past my fear of public speaking. I now know that I’m capable of doing it, with confidence.” – José Jair de Jesús Jacques Luevano

“My favorite part was getting to know the other teams. We formed a strong bond with other participants. Everyone was able to put the competition aside for a moment and enjoy each other’s company, and get to know one another better.” – Arturo Josue Corzo Figueroa

“This was an experience of a lifetime. I was proud to represent my company and achieve such challenging targets. These were unforgettable moments.” – José de Jesús Facio Mares

Congratulations to Team Hybridos!
