I define First Pass yield without any repairs. But I only consider a PCB to need repair if it fails test. Our boards are inspected before testing and any work done before testing, I consider to be rework and is part of the SMT process.

So would you side to say that electrolytic capacitors have Flattened coined leads & should follow specs under that classification?

A tenative yes. The hesitance comes because it seems that you're setting us up for something. So, howbout you tell us just what's going on?
