PPM for SMT Placement | 4 May, 2000

SMT Placement ppm = # of defects*1E6 /(Qty boards * number of components per board)

is the above ppm formula for placement defect correct? How about in your company? what method you are using? We are planning to implement SPC on our SMT Lines, any idea or advise on where will we start, and how to effectively monitor our SPC ?

thanks in advance

A common formula and perhaps more telling would be 1 defect for each solder joint and each part. For example a 1206 resistor could be 3 defects, a QFP128 could be 129 defects.
