Introduction
In July 1996, I joined Lucent Technologies as a consultant from Devon Consulting. My assignment was in the MicroElectronics division of the company. It turned out to be a very interesting experience.
The Company
Lucent Technologies was a new company created from the
trivestiture of AT&T. Lucent
had its first day as an independent company on October 1, 1996. The
company was going through many changes - especially the Information
Technology and Computer Operations areas. Eventually, all the turmoil
took a new direction with Lucent and
IBM signing the largest outsourcing
deal in history.
My Position
I started consulting at Lucent in the MicroElectronics
division. At the time, the ME division was the fastest
growing segment of the corporation. My first assignment
was to work on a new project. The project was entitled
MAS which is an acronym for Manufacturing Server.
The location in which I worked was in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
It has the honor of being the first place to actually produce
the transistor. Allentown Works as it's called was sort of a
regional headquarters for the manufacturing branch of ME. Many
executives were based at the location. Other groups
such as worldwide sales and finance for ME were based
in Allentown.
The Future
Lucent Technologies seems to be doing very well. Because of my own beliefs on American Manufacturing, I find hard to believe in the future with Lucent as a manufacturer. I will not say any more given that this document is the public domain.
