"A
Winning Strategy For Today's Global
Electronics Assembly Industry"
A list of questions
shall be provided to each panel member prior to the event. Example Question -"Lean
manufacturing is a much-discussed and practiced activity.
However, in comparing metrics such as inventory turns
among assemblers, the performance varies widely, with
best-in-class companies reaching 20+ annualized turns
while most companies are in the mid-to-high single digits.
In your opinion, how important are programs like Lean,
and what are the factors that set the best-in-class companies
apart from the rest of the pack?" Submitted by Mike Buetow, Editor in Chief,
