If they can wait to get a well-developed assembly process that will ensure 100 percent quality, that drives you in one direction. Another customer might stress quality, but want it in 2 weeks. Any new equipment should be mistake-proof. Whether it's done with neural networks or expert systems, the equipment should prevent errors. The amount of effort we spend trying to figure out how something went wrong takes up a lot of resources.
Standardization is another issue.
We have implemented the IPC standards. But, we've sometimes had to compromise when choosing capital equipment so that we can keep the protocols similar. In some cases, we've had to subordinate a critical parameter because we could not get seamless information exchange up and down the line. You have customers in Eastern Europe, South America and the Far East. That's been a challenge, because Harris has historically been domestically oriented.
