Bird's eye view of electronics manufacturing
Abstract
Study tours — of foreign companies and competitors — are a popular management training technique, but there have been few opportunities to study the situation in the UK, at least in the field of advanced electronics manufacturing strategy. Added to this there are few opportunities for informally getting together networks of engineers who could discuss basic manufacturing problems in the UK. The UK Department of Trade and Industry hopes that this situation will end as its Advanced Manufacturing in Electronics (AMIE) programme continues. A key part of this is allowing project engineers and managers to visit other companies to see what is actually being done, rather than what is merely equipment manufacturers' hype, or what is merely supposed by technical journals as being the case!
