Satyam Computer Services Ltd on April 06, 2007, has announced that Kenneth C Taormina, the senior vice president in its Manufacturing Practice, was elected to the board of directors of the National Association of Manufacturing. It is his second stint on the board; he served in a similar capacity several years ago.
Taormina will meet regularly with other NAM board members to determine ways to help manufacturing companies throughout the United States maintain their competitive edge. Often, his efforts will include work to influence legislation and regulations. Additionally, he will help policymakers, the media, and the public understand the importance of a healthy and vibrant manufacturing industry.
"NAM is an extraordinarily important and powerful organization that is focused on America’s manufacturing success, and I am honored to serve on its board," Taormina said. "It is committed to creating opportunities for its members and their employees, and helping them grow, and doing so as efficiently as possible. I look forward to working with my fellow board members and enabling our member organizations to thrive in a volatile and highly competitive global marketplace."
In addition, the Company has joined the Association, making it the first global organization headquartered in India to do so.
"Satyam’s Manufacturing Practice is recognized as a worldwide leader," Taormina said. "ARC, the global manufacturing advisory service, recently ranked Satyam as the leading offshore consultancy and systems integrator in the world for automotive organizations, and second best among manufacturers. As a result, it makes excellent business sense for us to play an active role with NAM."
