Notă biografică

The Team Network was developed by Tom Schilling. He developed this system over a 20-year period by implementing it at companies such as Lucas (now part of TRW), Framatome Connectors Inc. (100% owned by BAIN Capital), Lear Corporation as well as at non-automotive companies such as Plastic Packaging (a large privately held consumer products plastic container business). Schilling has successfully implemented this system throughout the parts of the organizations he controlled, resulting in significant improvement to their operational performance and financial results. Early in his career while attending night school to earn a BA in Accounting he worked full time for DANA corp. He worked in every aspect of manufacturing including an operator on CNC machines, inspector, shipping clerk and foreman, production worker, production foreman and an engineering assistant. He earned his degree in accounting and management. He went on to hold various positions from CFO to General Manager, VP and President of global companies and applied these principles in many countries. Since profitability and equity generate dividends and bonuses, and that is usually why a business exists, he knew he had to find serious money. Ford Motor Company learned about how Tom was managing their major electronics supplier and saw the results in the products they were buying. They began visiting the supplier's manufacturing plants and were blown away by the dedication of the work force to quality and to customers. They had never experienced such a motivated work force before. They asked Tom to speak at their annual supplier conference on the subject of building teamwork and quality. He was the only supplier asked to speak and was in demand after that. Berehulka and Schilling met when Schilling was hired by FCI as VP and GM of North American Operations. Schilling promoted Berehulka to his Director of Finance and they began their careers together. As a result they implemented the Team Network, Communication and Internal Control Monitoring for the organization. In approximately 13 months the North American Division was transformed from losing money and being one of the worst operations globally to being #1 in the world. That is #1 of 20-plus countries. All eyes were on North America to figure out what on earth could have possibly been responsible for such a positive turnaround! Even headquarters in France could not believe the transformation. The collaboration between Berehulka and Schilling gave them the experience required to write this book.
