the first example of Delphi's new aggressive growth business model," Wohleen
said.
    In March, Delphi designated the Mobile MultiMedia business line as the
first example of the company's new aggressive growth business model.  The new
model is one of the company's strategic initiatives to leverage its
significant technologies and capabilities by allowing greater autonomy to
rapidly grow business lines.  The business model is designed to provide nimble

businesses.  In addition, the financial performance of the business will be
broken out separately to track its growth.
    In less than 21 months, the MMM business has booked nearly $2.9 billion in
new business, exceeding Delphi's expectations.  The MMM market is expected to
grow at a 30 percent compound annual rate over the next five years.  In 1999,
MMM revenues totaled $40 million and in year 2000, sales are projected to be
$200 million.
    From 1973 to 1979, Schumacher received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in
physics from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
    He joined Hughes Research Laboratories (HRL) in 1983.  In 1991, he assumed
responsibility for HRL Automotive R&D before being appointed director of the
Delco Electronics Automotive Electronics Development (AED) Group.  He was
named director of the Delco Electronics Advanced Technology Center in 1995 and
was appointed director of Advanced Engineering in 1997.  Schumacher has served
as product line executive for the MMM emerging business group at Delphi Delco
Electronics Systems division since its formation in 1998.
