My old company (CM) ran SMT to 50ppm including some very complex boards. We established the normalizer number by: #components + #solder joints. As was stated earlier, the ppm for any given product is the result of many factors. You may get differen

Greg This is one of the eternal questions. I have racked my brains over this one in many organisations. If you are a low volume user (as your run size of 100 to 1000 would indicate) then you are likely to loose more taped components from loading and

Six Sigma has been invaluable here at my contract manufacturing group. We have brought out defect rate from a monthly average of 32% to 3 or less percent. Essentially, our inspectors 100% inspect every assembly in final inspection. I constructed a
