After so much procrastinations and contemplations, I have accomplished this informative course on Automotive packaging officially organized by packagingschool.com. My takes from this accomplishment are further comprehension on what OEMs, Tier 1, and Tier 2 suppliers are involved in during vehicle manufacturing from packaging point of view. I recommend this course to anyone interested in going down this lane.

In the beverage industry having the ability to explain the complete process to any new employee. It will also let me draw a parallel between all functions of the process , from concept to consumer. I found it eye opening after being in the industry for 25 years how much I still have to learn about the business. After taking this course I have a higher confidence in my knowledge and ability to explain in layman’s terms. I truly enjoyed taking the course and will revist many times.
