Dear David, 

We want to thank everyone that participated in the survey this year.  You provided valuable information that we will implement over the coming months.

One of the first changes we will make, based on your suggestions, is adjusting the publication frequency.  We will publish about once a month as we compile the case, solutions, and suggestions.  This will allow us to add more details to the case study and solutions and incorporate more feedback from other readers and contributors.

It was wonderful to learn that 66% of you read the newsletter frequently or always and usually forward it on to coworkers.  We try to provide valuable information to benefit our readers, and it appears to be working.

To help us add value and increase applicability, we are requesting real world challenges*.  We will work with your team to address the challenges and involve others in developing the best possible solution (using ManEx and other tools). 

This is an opportunity to let us work for you and it will benefit all readers.  Present us with your challenges and we will help you solve it.  The more specific you are with the challenge, the more specific will be the results.

As always, we look forward to your participation and feedback as you gain new insights and become a more effective provider of Electronic Manufacturing Services.

Sincerely,

David Sharp
ManEx, Inc.

 
*Although the cases will be real, we will change the names involved.
FEATUREBusiness Case - Case details and description
Future Cases

We will continue to use the fictitious company North Eastern Company (NE Company)* to present the challenge, details, and decisions offered in the case.

Although there are many factors (like company size, sales volume, industries served, etc) that determine the "best" decision, we will try to present the situation in a way that is most applicable to small to mid-sized manufacturers.


Business Case Solutions


This section will still provide common solutions to the current business situation.

MCSManEx Case Solution


This section will provide at least one method for work with the situation in ManEx.
