From time to time, all senior executives of Corporate America are faced with the many and diverse issues related to either growth or downsizing, often times referred to as "right-sizing".
In either case, there is concern for the return on investment in capital equipment, rationalization for brick and mortar, the addition of overhead or company lay-offs, inventory management and just plain cash flow.
"Electronic Assembly Fabrication" edited by Charles Harper is a pretty neat book. The book familiarizes non-specialists and managers, as well as engineers and technicians, working in the development, marketing, or manufacture of electronic products with the methods used to fabricate the primary components, assemblies, and packaging that comprise electronic products today. Each chapter is a compact description of the process used to fabricate a part or perform a major fabrication process.
