Biography of Arturo Onnias Part IV

Period 4   (1981 - 1987)

In 1982 Texas instruments Inc., made the decision to improve the quality of its products and services to a level equal or above the best competitor on the market. The responsibility of this program was assigned to a Senior Vice President of TI, Morris Chang. 

Managers responsible for large geographical areas of TI market were identified. I was asked to take responsibility for Europe. I was pleased with this assignment since it called for using and developing a wide variety of skills and know-how. In the Western world very few companies had traveled this road. Plenty of literature was available describing what had been done in Japan. It was, however, recognized that their methodology, in order to be effective in the Western world, had to be tailored to the different countries cultures, as well as to each company culture.

I am sorry, but presently I have other priorities, I must therefore stop writing my Bio.
