Summary
- Most painful thing at Tesla is the timeline, everything is moving very quickly. - Lauren cannot confirm PFMEA issue mentioned by Daniel Whitford but hasn’t hit that point in process yet (she’s new). - Most painful thing at Boston Scientific is inheriting poor processes. E.g. tasked with fixing crappy injection molding process in first role, then moving inefficient manufacturing line is second. “Not being set up for success.” - 300-500 MEs in NA for Boston Scientific. - Prefer to contract parts, but many small/complex injection molds will not be taken on by suppliers and are done in-house.
