Register for the series and save 10% off of the second day! IPC Materials Declaration Workshop Series: Information Exchange and the Perfect Bill of Material November 8, 2007 - Boston, MA November 27, 2007 - San Jose, CA Instructor: Dieter Bergman, IPC This exciting one day workshop provides an overview of the process information that needs 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 differently from the very generic description of a list of components, to a very granular representation that includes material properties, cost, weight, and performance descriptions. Data Transfer and Capture Technology: The Secret to Effective Communication November 9, 2007 - Boston, MA 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. During this process rarely do the constituents communicate one on one. If you register for two consecutive workshops you will receive 10% off the registration fee for the second workshop. If more than three individuals from your company plan on attending at the same time, you will receive the fourth registration FREE.
