DTI Build Process

As Detroit’s Global Tooling Leader, DTI has developed a repeatable process to consistently build tools overseas for the North American Market. DTI’s unique model offers the cost savings of a tool build in Asia while ensuring tools arrive built to North American standards. This saves our customers 20 – 30% on a typical tool build and provides the level of service and expertise of a local tool build.

INVEST DIRECTLY IN BUILD FACILITIES

With Joint Ventures in Korea and China, DTI invest directly in our Asian build facilities
This provides DTI control over the two most critical elements when building in Asia: Quality and Timing

ENGINEERING FOCUSED

Each with more than 20 years experience, our engineers were the pioneers in the global tooling strategy
With engineers from US, Europe, Japan, Korea, and China, DTI’S engineering team is composed of the top international tooling experts in Automotive

EVIDENCE BASED OPERATING SYSTEM

Milestone deliverables are checked daily against the schedule to ensure tools arrive on time
