New Blog Creates Forum for Manufacturing, Assembly Issues
July 18, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
FRANKLIN, Mass. — Speedline Technologies now hosts a new blog (www.speedlinetech.com/blog), where knowledge-in-process leaders from Speedline will comment on the top issues of semiconductor manufacturing and PCB assembly with insight, technical know-how, and personal observations.
In the blog's first entry, director of advanced development, Gerald Pham-Van-Diep, wants to know "what's the big deal about lead-free," while admitting to hearing voices during the night calling from him to "jump on the bandwagon." His bottom line: success implementation of the required new practices is best to come from the promotion of facts, not fear. He says that he sees the blog not only as an exchange of ideas, but as an open structure channel to share personal observations directly with his customers and the industry. He also notes that the blog is an opportunity for one-on-one discussion with a global industry.
Blog contributors will come from throughout the company to comment on issues such as, but not limited to, lead-free, productivity, development, inspection, globalization and miniaturization. Dr. Pham-Van-Diep expects value-add for blog readers as each writer brings professional and technical expertise — as well as unique perceptions and personalities — to the industry's issues of the day.
