NEMI MISSION The National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative is a North American based consortium whose mission is dedicated to providing leadership for the global electronics manufacturing supply chain for the benefit of its member companies and the industry. NEMI members use existing resources to develop and deploy new manufacturing technologies and efficient business practices necessary to maintain a responsive supply chain infrastructure. Since many of NEMI’s members are global companies, coordination is encouraged with other regions to achieve global solutions. NEMI STRUCTURE/ORGANIZATION NEMI is a consortium (organized as a 501(c)(6) corporation) made up of Electronic Equipment Manufacturers, their suppliers, other consortia/ associations, government agencies, and universities. As seen in the organization chart below, the group is headed by a board of directors that is elected by the NEMI Council of member representatives. The Technical Committee, driving both roadmapping and implementation efforts, is led by industry/staff co-chairs appointed by the board. The board also sponsors the Business Leadership Team to address selected business/supply chain topics.

First, NEMI forecasts major trends in the evolution of technology across 19 different disciplines. Second, NEMI defines future virtual products from seven market segments and then identifies the technologies and processes (both business and technical) that will be necessary to design and produce those products in our increasingly distributed manufacturing environment. Then, comparison of the virtual products’ requirements with projected technology/ infrastructure trends enables NEMI members to identify and address gaps in the industry supply chain for high volume electronics. The methodology followed by NEMI is shown below. NEMI TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY Technology Product Evolution Needs Roadmap Project Global Completion Participation Disruptive Available Technology to Market Government Place Competitive GAP Research Solutions Analysis No Work Academia Required NEMI Users & Suppliers Regional Collaboration Industry Solution Projects Needed For those efforts requiring fundamental R&D, NEMI works with government agencies, universities, and other consortia to ensure that the work is properly funded and undertaken. In those cases where the technology exists but is lacking in infrastructure, interested NEMI member companies will form projects to address the needs identified. From both the roadmapping and the project activities, standards initiatives can be identified. Through the project process, NEMI will work to ensure that the standards are created by collaborating with the appropriate standards groups. For emerging topics to industry, NEMI organizes and conducts forums to educate, communicate, and identify new areas of industry collaboration. NEMI FUNDING AND PARTICIPATION NEMI projects will be funded primarily through the use of in-kind resources by industry participants. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The following roles and responsibilities are provided for the various NEMI functions. • NEMI Council Represents all organizations participating in NEMI. The Council also elects the Board of Directors (staggered 3-year terms). • NEMI Board of Directors Has operational responsibility for the organization. This group approves the strategy, plans, and budget of NEMI. • Technical Committee Facilitates and coordinates all NEMI technical activities. This group also develops and integrates the NEMI technical strategy and plans. • Business Leadership Team Facilitates and coordinates all NEMI business gap activities. The group also supports the TC, TIGs, and TWGs relative to business topics. • Research Committee Responsible for stimulating research in areas identified as gaps during the NEMI roadmapping process. 3 NEMI Participant Guidelines & Directory • Technology Working Groups (TWGs) Responsible for developing technology roadmaps. Participation in roadmapping activities does not require membership in NEMI. • Product Emulator Groups (PEGs) Responsible for developing product emulator roadmaps. Participation in roadmapping activities does not require membership in NEMI. • Technology Integration Groups (TIGs) Responsible for identifying technology needs and facilitating the formation and management of projects. • Project Teams Responsible for implementing NEMI projects to approved Project Statements (see NEMI Project Participation Agreement). • NEMI Secretariat Responsible for corporate office functions and providing staff support to all other NEMI activities. PROJECTS BACKGROUND During the Roadmap process the Technology Working Groups (TWGs) analyze the future technology requirements defined by the product emulators against the predicted technology advancements as forecasted. The differences between product needs and technology trends are identified as gaps – both business and technical – that need to be filled if the global supply chain is to maintain world class manufacturing capabilities. The Technology Integration Groups (TIGs) identify projects that need to be undertaken by member companies in order to fill these gaps. PROJECT PROCESS Once the Technology Integration Group (TIG) has determined a technical or business area where projects are needed, one or more project champions are located to initiate the project process. Representatives from member companies meet to define the project. This generally starts with a Definition of Requirements from companies (generally OEMs and/or EMS providers) who will be the end users of the project deliverables. The member company representatives then define a Statement of Work (SOW) that will be undertaken to develop the necessary capabilities to satisfy user needs. The
