Join IPC at their Materials Declaration Workshop Series:

Information Exchange and the Perfect Bill of Material
August 23, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA 
November 27, 2007 - San Jose, CA
Instructor:  Dieter Bergman, IPC

This one day workshop provides an overview of the process information
that is needed to be exchanged between trading partners; especially
between design and manufacturing disciplines. As electronic data
transfer becomes a reality everyone talks about the perfect BOM. The
only difficulty is that everyone sees this entity a little different
from the very generic description of a list of components, to a very
granular representation that includes material properties, cost, weight,
and performance.

Data Transfer and Capture Technology: The Secret to Effective
Communication
August 24, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA
November 28, 2007 - San Jose, CA
Instructor:  Dieter Bergman, IPC

This one day workshop provides an overview of the various methods used
to maintain a proper data base and how information is passed from the
Design Intent to the manufacturing reality. The industry has long
suffered from poor methodology on how design information is converted to
data streams and the interpretation needed by CAM systems in order to
decipher the customer's requirements and convert the vagueness into real
product. Decisions made on the production floor come at an expense in
either extra cost for data crunching or design rule over-rides in order
to manufacture the product.
