SMART GROUP Scotland - Electronics Manufacturing - Competing in a Global Economy & Tabletop Exhibition
ISLI, Alba Centre, Alba Campus, Livingston, Scotland
Thursday, April 1st 2004
In recent years we have seen the decline of our manufacturing industries as OEM’s & CEM’s transfer manufacturing offshore. One of the main driving forces behind this is cost. How can we compete in this “Global Economy”? Can we “work smarter” to reduce manufacturing costs, offer better quality and superior customer service? The seminar will highlighted some of the ways of improving manufacturing competitiveness such as;
Reducing lead times by improving DTM and production management processes.
Improving costs by implementing tools and philosophies to focus on utilization of assets & resources.
Improving quality and reducing scrap by tighter process control and improving inspection & test processes.
