Jul 01, 2003 Devices (MSD) Council, which had its preliminary meeting on March 31, 2003,
at the Anaheim Marriott Suites Hotel in Anaheim, CA. The MSD Council is a
voluntary group, under the auspices of the SMTA, dedicated to advancing the
understanding and practice of MSD control in electronic assembly procedures
and practices.
The MSD Council will be chartered to expand awareness through information
available on smta.org and through educational programs, tutorials,
symposia, publications, and events for extensive networking. With the
increasing need for globalization in the area of industry standards, and
with the understanding and proper practice of such standards, the MSD
Council will also establish formal and informal relationships with
international organizations that are responsible for publishing related
information.
The Council represents engineering, production management, quality
assurance and reliability, research, sales and marketing, education,
purchasing, and other industry functions. Companies and institutions
represented include electronic manufacturers and users, research
laboratories, consultants, universities, component manufacturers, and
manufacturers of related products.
More info related to the MSD Council will be available on smta.org,
including a self-assessment (audit checklist and survey) and resources
(articles, standards, guidelines, and events).
If you are interested in serving on the MSD Council, inquiries should be
directed to SMTA administrator JoAnn Stromberg: 952-920-7682 or joann@smta.org.
The SMTA membership is a network of professionals who build skills, share
practical experience and develop solutions in electronic assembly
technologies and related business operations.
