Apparently, the situation at Juarez is worst than I've imagine. Even the locals don't like living there and kept emphasizing that we should not deviate from the direct route from our hotel to J&J or even leave the gates of this high security compound.
This is where most of the intervention catheters are manufactured. I wasn't allowed to snap photos within the plant but I'm pretty impressed with the level of automation and technology applied. Their clean room is huge, each operator has he/her own desk within the line, a flat screen monitor, personal microscope and other equipment required for the line's process. Their total staff count is close to 3000 people! Walking along the corridors during meal hrs or changing shift is like walking in a mega mall filled with people.....
The product that we are transferring to SG.
First day of orientation and training was a pure waste of time..... As we are going for trainer certification, they required us to sit through this 2 day training course, covering different aspects of their operations which were either not required for us to know or things we already knew like their plant emergency exits, medical department, security, gowning, environmental and health safety etc. Most of which were pretty much common sense since we work in a clean room environment too and should have a good understanding. A lot of waiting time as people scheduled to give the presentation were not available... Can't wait to hit the product line and really start learning/working. Otherwise, it's gonna be a long long 2.5 weeks ahead.....
