A friend and former colleague at Sypris Electronics participated in a podcast with Technology Forecasters, Inc. regarding Joint Design Manufacturing (JDM) and the aerospace & defense electronics manufacturing market. Jeff Kaylor, Director of Government Services at Sparton Electronics, (now with Sanmina-SCI), makes a number of excellent points with regard to suppliers in the A&D market needing to fit technically and culturally with their customer in a way that isn’t necessarily true in other markets.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Bill Roberts followed up the podcast with a post on the TFI blog.
