Zarrow is president and co-founder of ITM Consulting, and a Circuits Assembly columnist. He will speak from 8:30-9:30 a.m. on “Implementing Lead-Free: The Other 90%.”  He will examine what Pb-free means to the electronic assembler at the process and logistics level. The impact upon printing, placement, reflow and inspection will be examined as well as the adaptations necessary by purchasing, quality assurance and product development groups.
 
Mike Buetow, Editor-in-Chief of Circuits Assembly, will follow with a presentation entitled, “Who Owns the Supply Chain?” According to Buetow, there is a is a war on in the supply chain as each segment fights for its share of the OEM pie. As EMS and distributors add value-added services, their suppliers cannot help but be impacted. Environmental legislation is affecting how everyone (designers, fabricators, assemblers) does business. The presentation will provide a look at how the supply chain is shaping up and what it might look like in the future.
