IBS Sponsors Manufacturing in the 21st Century Summit


December 12, 2007 - IBS sponsored the Aberdeen Group's Manufacturing in the
21st Century Summit, which took place in Boston on December 4-5, 2007. The
summit brought together leading manufacturers across the globe to share
strategies for optimizing productivity and achieving better quality control.

Topics covered during the event included how manufacturers can utilize
technology to streamline quality control, how technology takes lean
manufacturing to the next level, and strategies for achieving zero defect
manufacturing. Speakers included thought leaders from across the industry
spectrum, who drew on their own experiences in the boardroom and on the shop
floor to offer recommendations for driving more efficient production. In addition,
analysts from research company The Aberdeen Group shared their own insights
into the current manufacturing climate, derived from their research into the
practices of best-in-class manufacturers.

IBS will sponsor a Manufacturing in the 21st Century webinar on January 9th,
2008, for manufacturing and quality professionals who were unable to attend the
event in Boston. For more information, please contact mairead.ridge@ibsus.
