Calumet, one of North America's leading manufacturers of high performance printed circuit boards, will present its Mission-Critical Manufacturing™ system, a total quality management approach to the production of highly reliable circuit boards and high performance relationships. "We believe it is time to move beyond the rhetoric and take a look at the value proposition offer" according to Stephen J. Marshall, National Sales Manager, "The market seems tired of the usual rant about quality and performance. After all, in today's marketplace those things are mandatory!"

Calumet provides value beyond performance. Mission-Critical Manufacturing system is a total quality management approach that delivers dock to stock reliability increasing the value of quality while reducing its cost. Choosing fewer, more capable sources reduces process variability and increases lean manufacturing opportunities. This "old-school" approach to manufacturing produces proven results.
