"Big tool shops from the United States, Canada, Portugal and
Spain have been interested in installing facilities here to take
a piece of the market."
For Ayala, the key to continued success in Mexico is depen-
dent on the implementation of modern technologies like lean
manufacturing to provide customers with quality solutions
and on-time deliveries. This, he says, is ultimately dependent
on the ability to develop and maintain skilled employees via
effective training programs. "Our internal training entails a
combination of observing and studying new skills followed
by practical application. We invest more than 300 hours of
shop time on this important task," he says.
"Growing with modern technologies and retaining talent
are big challenges for Mexico, just as they are in the rest of
the manufacturing world," Ayala says. "We, like everyone else,
are challenged to implement better, more ambitious train-
ing programs because talent is in such high demand by big
industries." He says that currently, the government seems to
be interested in supporting training programs through the
Ciateq Consorcio, which, together with other related entities,
has formed the Consorcio Moldes, Troqueles y Herramientas,
or Molds, Dies and Tools Consortium. The consortium
provides solutions to market demands, in the way of skills
training and business administration programs, in San Luis
Potosí and throughout the entire state. "Also, we are work-
ing extensively with universities and other educational insti-
tutions, directly and through the AMMMT, to provide more
effective metalworking programs," he says.
