IPC COMMUNITY 71 SPRING 2023 ing. Kang Laihui (MIT), IPC China training and certification manager, served as the chief judge. He advised contestants on the compe- tition rules and criteria, and provided a sys- tematic and comprehensive training to the judges, so as to present a professional and fair competition. IPC China hopes that contestants can bet- ter understand IPC standards through such a competition because it combines theory with practice, seeks to improve their skills, and helps companies further their competitive advantages. After two days of competition, and thanks to the impartial and rigorous judg- ing, the top three individuals and team were finally announced. Jayme Lai, director of the Wistron FAE and customer service support division, expressed his heartfelt thanks to IPC. He said, "Customers and the overseas markets are expecting higher product quality, but it turns out that there is a lack of understanding in the electronics industry standards, as well as the application of the standards. IPC standards are applied in our daily work, and we need a thorough under- standing of them. Therefore, our company chose the official training courses provided by IPC China." IPC offers professional training on IPC stan- dards, such as IPC-7711/7721 and IPC-A-610, and Lai says that Master IPC Trainers (MITs) presented detailed explanations on some real cases. "These courses have effectively improved our understanding of IPC standards, and when it comes to a disagreement with customers or suppliers regarding the quality issues in electronics assembly, we can better settle the differences." At the same time, with the industry stan- dards, he continued, "We can have better con- trol on product quality and manufacturing technique. Our product quality is improved, and the differences between customers and suppliers on product quality are reduced. Gradually, we will develop a stronger influence in the electronics manufacturing industry." Even more important, Lai said, is that IPC standards training gives Wistron employees more opportunities to meet their counter- parts in this industry. "We can communicate with and learn from each other in future work, and we also maintain communication with the IPC trainers. If we have any questions, we can ask them for advice. Thank you, IPC, for creat- ing this communication platform." Successful companies embrace today's pace of change and gain competitive advantage by proactively investing in the professional devel- opment of new and existing employees. IPC China appreciates the great efforts that Wis- tron Group has put into developing high-qual- ity and high-end technical talent. We encour- age and support more companies to carry out talent training programs, and together we can foster high-quality development of the elec- tronics manufacturing industry.
