Wow! How would it be possible to spend $700-$800 in labor to repair a single board? What are labor burdens these days? $30-$40 per hour at most?

We can make the numbers come-out looking impressive either way. In real life, our sense is: fully burdened, it is a little less expensive to use a contractor. Now, we're only talking costs. Non-cost factors often end-up putting on the brakes and t

I am working on trying to define a cost per placement measure in our SMT assembly operations. Does anyone know where I might find a published industry average that we may compare to? I�ve heard it stated that an industry average is less than $0.01
