We need to understand the challenges technicians are facing in order to recognize innovation opportunities. These creative fixes will help technicians and repair shops do their jobs more efficiently and will in turn create value for CRP and our distributors. We need to grow the innovation council both in size and depth. We will do this by remaining in constant contact with our current members and recruiting new members who are also passionate innovators. This will help give us up to date information of the vitals of our constantly changing industry. We need to identify and evaluate potential suppliers who can meet the needs outlined by the various members of the innovation council. We need to manage the innovation process and guide the innovation team with constant opportunity reviews, keeping them informed of the changing needs of the technicians and repair shops. We need to constantly pass our innovation opportunities onto the Product Development team. This way they will be able to take immaterial ideas and turn them into marketable products.

Find, evaluate and benchmark new automotive products and product ideas of first class Overseas Supply partners and map these products to the needs of our demanding distribution partners and the top technicians whose needs they are serving. Stay on the pulse of the need of these technicians in order to provide what this market will demand in the future

Every day at KW Parts taught me something. I learned what customers needed and had the pleasure of working with a team of highly intelligent professionals. Together we strove to meet and exceed our customer’s needs. I dealt with various aspects of the automotive Industry and had the chance to learn from many people and eventually was able to pass on my knowledge to others. I built a strong and efficient team and together we became one of the top suppliers in our local market.
