Thinking Ahead: How to Evaluate New Technologies
Unlike new product development, which at times can be options, electronics production is a daily operation that impacts the top-line revenue for the organization. Replicating and bringing up lines, keeping them up, and optimizing their performance is a daily battle for operations leaders. When you're leading for scale, you're never too far from a crisis -- one late shipment or one sick operator and you could spend the rest of the quarter chasing your quarterly commitment.
This chapter will offer a direct look into the essentials for operations, quality, and manufacturing leaders -- how to select the right manufacturing partners, how to avoid a crisis and what to do if you find yourself in one, and how to optimize your manufacturing process to deliver margin improvements, drawing from the real-world experiences of seasoned peer leaders. This chapter will grow as we meet and interview leaders with stories about the hard-won lessons that shape how they lead.
