Adexa is the best-of-breed supply chain solution in the Semiconductor industry, and its ease of implementation means we can rapidly become more responsive to our customers' wafer processing requirements and exceed their expectations." "Missing promise dates can cost customers, which is simply unacceptable," said Cyrus Hadavi, Adexa's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .
