Summary:The technology certification process involves establishing new factory in tandem with current trend of globalization of manufacturing and shifting sites to low cost regions. The demands for accelerated learning curve and shortening start-up time require transfer of process competencies and technology. The present paper has demonstrated how collaborative technologies with the support from the fundamentals of Copy EXACTLY!
