Menlo Park, CA. November 8th, 2002 - FabTime Inc. today announced that it has completed the Silicon Valley multi-company session of its FabTime cycle time management course. The two-day course covered cycle time intuition, management styles, and metrics and goals. Attendees represented wafer fabs from the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Germany.

“This was our first multi-company session of the course,” said Jennifer Robinson, FabTime COO. “Previously we have presented the course to attendees from a single company site, and that allowed detailed discussion of site-specific topics.
