This year’s PV Fab Managers’ Forum, taking place in Dresden, Germany on March 8th and 9th, looks set to be an event to remember. SEMI’S PV Group, organizers of the Forum, have appointed as hosts eight fab managers from solar cell manufacturing companies. The representatives will be shouldered with the task of working actively with the PV Group to improve the customer-supplier relation in the photovoltaic industry.

The group will present a supplier assessment at the event, which will culminate in a discussion between customers and suppliers in an attempt to improve the current situation. Topics under discussion include supply-chain optimization and supplier relations, as well as a focus on improved process control and standardization.
