In response to members needs for support in global supply chain verification, IPC announces the appointment of industry veteran Randy Cherry as director of its new validation business unit.
Working closely with IPC's technical team, Cherry will take a leadership role in developing and implementing new validation services around IPC standards. This new unit will provide audit, inspection, testing, and advisory services to suppliers throughout the entire electronics industry, initially targeting market segments that demand extremely high reliability, such as defense and aerospace, automotive, medical, and telecommunication sectors.
"The challenging regulatory environment and continued globalization of business practices make supply chain verification more important than ever," says Dave Torp, IPC vice president of standards and technology. "With his background, Randy understands the needs of the electronics industry with respect to building trusted relationships within the supply chain."
For the last 20 years, Cherry has been involved with qualification and evaluation of printed boards, assembly materials, and equipment. Prior to joining IPC, he was a principal engineer within the component technology group at a telecommunication company. His background also includes engineering roles with Landis & Gyr Powers (now Siemens) and Harper-Wyman.
"Through my past work, I accessed the programs and resources of IPC to continually develop my skills and knowledge and to help my company succeed,” says Cherry. “Now working for IPC, I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to the industry by helping even more IPC member companies succeed."
Cherry has a degree in electronics technology and is a certified SMT process engineer as well as a certified IPC trainer for IPC-A-600.

Dr. Jennie Hwang is appointed to the National Materials and Manufacturing Board.
In recognition of the increasing importance of materials and manufacturing, the new National Materials and Manufacturing Board (NMMB) combines the charges of two preexisting boards: the National Materials Advisory Board and the Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design. The mission of this board is to provide objective, independent assessments of the current state of materials, devices and manufacturing and the applications of new and existing materials and devices in innovative ways, including global supply chains and national security, real-time detection of damage to materials in aerospace applications and of threat agents, integrated computational materials engineering, and management of existing U.S. materials resources.
Under the sponsorship of U.S. government agencies such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation, and the National Science Foundation, NMMB will be responsible for the strategic planning, program development, and administrative oversight of studies and other activities.
