Call for Papers EIPC Winter Conference—Extended Deadline
October 9, 2018 | EIPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
With their customary flair for finding a suitable venue for their conferences, EIPC have selected Milan, Italy and the NH Hotel Milano Fiera, for their Winter event in 2019. The conference will be held on February 14-15, 2019.
Ah yes, Valentine's Day—Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world. Given that all the EIPC members are passionate people, and love a commercial celebration when they see one, you can put good money on the fact that pretty well all of them will be in Milan for the EIPC Winter Conference.
Where better to bring your bow and quiver and shoot some technical and commercial arrows into the (not-so-hard) hearts of the assembled masses of people who know a lot about assembly.
Abstract submission is no later than October 15. Please click here for the detailed Call for Papers.

It’s Only Common Sense: Meet the New Young Guns in Sales
03/25/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI have been working quite a bit lately with younger people. These salespeople are literally two generations removed from my own demographic (and most of our industry’s demographic). Most of them are 30 years old or younger. I’d dare to call them “hotshots” because they are hungry, ambitious, and passionate, and they want to succeed.

It’s Only Common Sense: Seeking the Possibility of Opportunity
03/11/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWe are often so immersed in what we are doing that we don’t have time to lift our heads and open our eyes to the possibility of opportunity. Why is this a problem? It’s because being open to opportunities is crucial for success in sales (as it is in all of business and in). Over the years, I have found there are several ways to take advantage of opportunities. The absolute best way is to always have an open mind. Here are some ways I do that.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: Global Sourcing is Good for Everyone
02/28/2024 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightIn business, as in life, it’s important to have an open mind. Take the people you work with at face value rather than what you are told by politicians and the media. It has always been amazing to me how easy it is to have resentment toward a people, as a country (or nationality) until you get up close and personal. Then it is not so easy. Dealing with people face to face, as human beings and fellow citizens of the world, where you get to see them as they are, is so much better and more productive. All business is people dealing with people. If we can keep it at that level, the world will become a much better place.
The Right Approach: Culture Change is Key to a QMS
02/26/2024 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachWhy is organizational change needed? Because in America, people tend to accept that a certain amount of error is normal. You expect the plane to be late. You expect the mail to be undelivered. You expect consumer electronics and products to break down. This translates to our manufacturing operations as well.
