Calumet Electronics to Debut TQM System at IPC Midwest Conference

Calumet Electronics Corporation, a leading manufacturer of high performance printed circuit boards, will present its Mission-Critical Manufacturing ™ methodology at the IPC APEX EXPO™ 2009, September 23-September 24 in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Mission-Critical is a total quality management approach to the production of highly reliable circuit boards and high performance relationships that delivers dock to stock reliability – increasing the value of quality while reducing its cost. Choosing fewer, more capable PCB sources reduces process variability and increases lean manufacturing opportunities.

"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's "old-school" approach to manufacturing produces proven results.

The IPC APEX EXPO is being held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center in Schaumburg, Illinois. To learn about the Calumet value proposition, stop by Booth 400.
