Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

Posted May 17, 2008 9:32 AM

High-tech research gets most of the press, but small, incremental improvements are often more significant than research projects that fail to pan out. In the wire and cable industry, these improvements may be a new cable jacket material that's more rugged or that can withstand heat better. Other incremental improvements may be a new test method that slashes test times or an assembly technique that makes a more reliable cable. Are you working on these kinds of development projects? Can you give me an example from your own work?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Wire & Cable Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Wire & Cable Technology today.
