Technology Focus - With the rapid globalization of world economies and markets, many electronics companies are now outsourcing some of their manufacturing steps to subcontractors around the world. Both technical and business people realize they must look at their product and manufacturing processes with a broader perspective. IMAPS facilitates this discussion by organizing its technical programs to match a 4 tiered global supply chain model encompassing industry, systems and applications, design, and materials and process. Communications among all 4 tiers of the microelectronics and packaging supply chain are critical to the success of innovation and new product developments.
