The DFM (Design For Manufacture) project has been broken down
         into sub-committees. I have volunteered to be chairman of the
         sub-committee on data bases.

         The main emphasis of this particular project is to make the
         data bases (MANMAN and AVL) more useful and accessible to the
         design engineers. This includes adding fields to the data
         bases. For example:

              Preferred Part
              EEM (or other standard) commodity code
              Location of reference data sheets

         It also includes designing a screen layout that is useful to
         the design engineer so that he can see in one place all of
         the relevant information that is important to his selection
         of parts.

         It also includes any other areas we agree need improvement.

         Please bring your open minds and your ideas to this meeting.

         Thanks!!

         John
