Here are just a few examples of what the automotive industry is saying about ARi.
Dave Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research (CAR)
"The auto industry will be affected dramatically by this trend of boomer retirements. One important way we can deal with the expected significant shortage of skilled people is by facilitating the connection between industry retirees and automotive manufacturers and suppliers with technical personnel needs. In this context, ARi is an important part of SAE. I believe ARi is off to an excellent start with its outstanding leadership team. Its role will grow exponentially as the boomer crisis accelerates."
Neil DeKoker, President, Original Equipment Suppliers Association (OESA)
"In these current turbulent times in the automotive industry, the Automotive Resources Institute, a service of SAE International, provides a credible temporary manpower solution to companies in the industry by providing qualified, registered industry expertise across a wide spectrum of subject matters in areas of business, engineering and technology."
J Ferron, Partner, Pricewaterhouse Coopers (Retired)
"From the consulting point of view SAE's ARi has a unique value...I have referred ARi several times to law firms seeking individuals for analyses or expert testimony in technical areas. As the vehicle components increase in complexity and integration of systems progresses, I see this need increasing."
Bill Kozyra, Chairman & CEO, TI Automotive
"ARi in its fifth year of serving the industry, with their group of industry experts, has shown to be a valuable asset to the industry, particularly to firms who need short to medium term temporary project-type assistance in these times of general corporate organization rightsizing. This service of SAE International also aims at retaining the wealth of technology, engineering and business acumen while enabling SAE members to expand or extend their careers."
Bob Mull, Executive Director, Vehicle Evaluation and Verification, Ford Motor Company (Retired)
"ARi offers an efficient means of connecting the needs of the OEMs and suppliers with available people resources. This is a great opportunity for fast and efficient matching of people to needs."
Dave Slaman, General Manager, Valeo North America
"The market is very tough at the moment especially Tier 1s and Tier 2s...we are preserving cash and getting more done with less people...we get it done with existing resources even if that means 80 hour weeks...there are many choices, many not credible...The Automotive Resources Institute (ARi), a service of SAE International offers a very credible alternative for those companies in need of automotive subject matter experts."
