Brian - do you have any more info regarding the in-process DPMO? Is there a working standard number to reference? What commitee is working on this?

Look at "DPMO: A Tool For Achieving World-Class Process Quality" Charles-Henri Mangin, SMT magazine, 8/00, p 77-78

It has been mentioned that DPMO offers large advantages over First Pass yield calculations for measuring process performance!!regarding the same I have a few queries: What are the benchmarks for using DPMO as measures of process performance? How is

The advantage of DPMO is that the numbers used are PPM, (Part Per Million), rather than percentage. Percentage can distort, depending on volume. For instance, 100 units processed, 25 defects found = 75 percent yield. 4 units processed, 1 defect found

IPC7912 deals with the end result, ie an OEM getting boards from a contract manufacturer. I have a friend who is sitting on these committees. He tells me there is a new standard due out for actually doing in-process DPMO. From a process standpoint

Jack Crawford, IPC Director of Assembly Standards and Technology says "IPC-7912 is used for end-item DPMO calculation; one gathering of DPMO data at the end of the entire assembly process. IPC-9261 will be used throughout the manufacturing process so

To be honest with you, it doesn't really matter how you present the data, as long as you understand what the problems are. Bottom line is who cares what the numbers are unless you are doing something about it. Are you able to track the individual de

To clarify on "Opportunities"- With 1000 components, the opportunities are far greater than 1000. You have 1 opportunity per component for a component defect i.e. bent lead, damaged part, tested bad, etc. You have a second opportunity per component

Several points are: * Some may argue that DPMO is peculiar and specific. That�s why IPC-7912 states �Users of this document are cautioned when comparing one manufacturer�s indices to one another due to differences in assembly complexity and the amou
