We have some new customers that are requiring class 3 IPC standards, and my question is, how would that translate into a labor rate increase as compared to class 2 rates? I'm assuming the labor quote would increase by at least 15-20%, if not more. An

I have inherited a spreadsheet used to quote labor for assembling pc boards. There are no instructions (of course) on how to use it and it seems to be lacking in several areas. So, I was wondering if anyone would like to share on how you/your compa

Every company does things different. Some use machine time, some per placement, some per placement by part type. It would depend on how the company is set up and how they allocate overhead and what problems they do or dont have with particular part t

Hello, I am looking for industry time standards for assembly tasks, from SMT to product packing. I was told a few years ago that IEEE had these standards. When I finally looked, they did not exist that I could find. Does anyone know if / where such

In the contract manufacturing world, every company does it differently. A rule of thumb... Blow up your labor by 100%, and over-charge on your materials. Especially materials. That's how we CM's make our money!

A homegrown spreadsheet with all the formulas is the way to go. You must OVER-INFLATE your labor rates too. At my last place of employment, I'd come up with "sound engineering numbers" only to be forced to over-inflate them by the factory manager

I used to work for a multi-billion, multi-national Contract Manufacturer. I quoted manufacturing (RFQ) for my US site. My counter parts in Beijing were comparison quoting for 1/10 to 1/15 below my quotes. I can't tell you how many builds we did on
