    WHAT:   The Third Annual SAE International Automotive Manufacturing
            Conference & Exposition

    WHEN:   May 11-13, 1999

    WHERE:  Cobo Center, Detroit, MI

    WHO:    The largest automotive manufacturing conference and exposition in
             North America will attract key industry decision-makers from both
             OEMs and automotive suppliers.  Exhibitors include the Ford Motor
             Company, Honda of America and DaimlerChrysler.

    WHY:    In an industry where increasingly rapid product development
             cycles, just-in-time delivery and cost-consciousness so strongly
             influence success, automotive manufacturers are being pushed to
             find new ways to maximize, integrate and improve manufacturing
             performance.
