Daren Harris’s Expertise A hard working and dedicated mechanical engineer and project manager with a strong technical and commercial background in product design, development, manufacturing, supplier management and sourcing. In the industry that we work in today, suppliers rarely have all technologies in house to deliver High quality display and lens assemblies so partnerships that complement the abilities of industry leading manufacturing companies and state of the art material suppliers is key to delivering the highest quality, best cost solutions. For example many IMD or IML lens suppliers purchase optical quality films and foils from sub-suppliers dedicated to investing in the development of decorative and conductive inks, hard coat, anti-glare, anti-reflection, and anti-fingerprint (easy clean) surface technologies. These films and foils then need to be compatible with structurally sound high optical quality resins with mechanical and environmental properties that meet OEM homologation requirements, as well as capable of surviving high pressure and temperature operations during forming and injection molding. This is only 1 example of the complicated nature of the modern day automotive interior lens and decorative requirements that if not understood in detail can lead to high cost issues in production. My latest work has been dedicated to understanding the relationship between the manufacturing capabilities and the customer requirements leading to the development of these technologies and putting supply partnerships together to deliver these products. I initiate the product development innovation (and hold many patents in this area) I identify through my network of contacts the correct and most capable suppliers then put design, development and manufacturing plans in place to deliver the product. I also run the in-house manufacturing teams to establish the assembly processes including OCA and LOCA bonding as required. Specialties: Decorative and structural plastics Design and development of Integrated control panels including display viewability and "A" surface decoration Steel stamping, injection mold tooling and decorative plastic process development and cost analysis Project and engineering management Manufacturing processes Supplier management Advanced engineering project management
