The presentation will cover how electronics design and manufacturing has evolved over the past few decades. In the 70's, it was cost reduction. In the 80's, the buzzword was quality. In the 90's, time to market. What is the new paradigm, and what are the implications for electronics manufacturers as we move into the next millenium? One issue is the increasing popularity of outsourcing part or all of design and/or manufacturing operations. Once the product data are "published" by engineering, the challenge is to involve the supply chain with the product realization process. The applications and tools used to facilitate this new methodology will be discussed. Meeting host: Veribest, Inc. Veribest is a CAD supplier to the design community.
