NEMI, IEEE CPMT Society Form Strategic Partnership
April 8, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Herndon, Va. — The National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI) and the IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology Society (CPMT) have entered into a formal agreement that outlines key areas of collaboration between the two organizations.
A primary collaboration under this new agreement will be roadmap development, beginning with the 2004 NEMI roadmap. The roadmaps, created every two years, map the future manufacturing needs of the electronics industry in order to identify key technology and infrastructure developments required to assure leadership of the global supply chain over the next decade. It helps companies anticipate shifts in product requirements and provides an early warning of changes in technology or infrastructure.
The CPMT Society's members are technical professionals whose fields of expertise complement and substantially overlap with NEMI, and many CPMT Society members have represented their respective employers in the development of previous NEMI roadmaps. With more than 40 percent of the Society's members outside the United States, the CPMT Society is committing experienced professionals from Europe, Asia and North America to many of the NEMI roadmap chapter committees. Involvement of this broad-based group will help NEMI in its efforts to globalize the scope of the 2004 roadmap.
Other areas of collaboration include NEMI involvement in CPMT Society-sponsored conferences, workshops and refereed publications, and CPMT Society coordination with the NEMI Technical Committee on development of R&D priorities.
The two organizations began their partnership at NEMI's 2004 roadmap kick-off meeting, March 24 through 25 in Newark, Calif.
IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society is the leading international forum for scientists and engineers engaged in the research, design and development of revolutionary advances in microsystems packaging and manufacture. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE), CPMT Society's parent organization, is the world's largest international technical professional society with more than 360,000 members in more than 150 countries.
