Appendix A<br />

IPC “The coordination of all resources involved in operating a<br />

manufacturing business with the objective of insuring the most<br />

efficient use of, <strong>and</strong> maximum effectiveness of, all inputs to, from, <strong>and</strong><br />

between the manufacturing processes.”<br />

Total quality management is a critical aspect of effective factory<br />

integration.<br />

The roadmap stresses the importance of self-directed work teams,<br />

training <strong>and</strong> education.<br />

Another critical element of factory integration is systematic<br />

benchmarking process. However, the roadmap notes the electronic<br />

interconnection industry does very little comprehensive benchmarking.<br />

Another key element of factory integration is a strategic process for<br />

cycle time reduction (CTR).<br />

Information systems (CIM/MIS) are also fundamental.<br />

Costing systems which are used to estimate the real costs of a<br />

manufactured part could be better integrated with the manufacturing<br />

control systems that manage the series of processing steps that add<br />

value to a part.<br />

EDI Systems which can provide enhanced communication with<br />

business partners by replacing traditional paper order processing are<br />

not commonly used in the interconnect industry.<br />

Also stressed are manufacturing control systems, tooling systems,<br />

modeling <strong>and</strong> simulation systems, <strong>and</strong> process control systems.<br />

(continued)<br />

IPC Improved factory automation is also essential to factory integration.<br />

Automated material h<strong>and</strong>ling systems eliminate the need for manual<br />

intervention for the conveyance of product through the manufacturing<br />

process. Automated process control <strong>and</strong> monitoring systems utilize<br />

electronic sensors that monitor process variables <strong>and</strong> convert the level<br />

of measured variable into a proportional electrical output. Integration<br />

of the process control system with the manufacturing<br />

control/information system allows the automatic storage <strong>and</strong> retrieval<br />

of processed data <strong>and</strong> part-specific information.<br />

The roadmap stresses the need for improved leadership/management,<br />

strategic planning, <strong>and</strong> better finance/accounting procedures, including<br />

activity-based costing.<br />
