High tech manufacturers are the research, development and production epicenter of the technological revolution that dominates the world today. These are the companies who produce cutting-edge products in:

• Semiconductors and Electronics • Aircraft, Guided Missiles & Space Vehicles • Drugs & Industrial Chemicals • Communications Equipment • Search and Navigation Equipment

In high-tech manufacturing, the time lag between technological innovation and commercial application of new techniques and processes is down to 2 or 3 years, which means that product life cycles have become very short. This has necessitated a continuous cycle of training and retraining on the production floor, as well as with external entities such as vendors, partners, dealers, internal and outside sales reps, and customers.
