2012 brought changes to both the industry and the trade shows.

Lean Six Sigma methodologies help EMS teams reduce waste, improve yields and drive consistent process improvements.

The mantra of the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry has long been better, faster, cheaper. OEMs outsource to improve their bottom line in some way. EMS partners need to deliver that service faster and at less total cost to their customers to make financial sense. That leaves little margin for error, and in the complex world of EMS, achieving those efficiencies means the entire production team must work together to eliminate waste and inefficiencies.
