Technical Training Electronic Industry

closed

This project will assist the electronics industry in the introduction of automated production technologies including: surface mount technology production methods; manufacture of semiconductor microchips and mounting of chips on ceramic wafers; manufacturing operations in a"clean-room" environment; use of numerically controlled machine tools; and advanced statistical quality control procedures through specialized, enterprise-based training. The overall objective of the project is to promote the competitiveness of strategic segments of the electronics industry, by testing innovative financing mechanisms that will allow member firms to introduce state of the art technologies in Mexico. Specific objectives are to (i) transfer technical know-how through external training and industry bench-marking in strategic technologies not available in Mexico; (ii) introduce specialized enterprise-based or association-sponsored training strategies for engineers, technicians and other industry workers; and (iii) strengthen the institutional capacity of Cámara Nacional de la IndustriaElectronica (CANIECE) to manage and sustain the training program. Participating firms and workers will gain technical know-how, training, practical experience with state-of-the-art production methods, and access to new technologies in their area of specialization.
