ASQC re-numbered the once free (taxpayer sponsored development) MIL-STD-105 as ASQ-Z1.4, slapped their own cover on it, and now charge $40 or $50 for the same document! The standards are identical, so see if you can get one of the old �MIL-STD's� and

Quite an assortment of opinions and problems, I appreciate everyones input. Based on all that I created a process below that seems to me should work well to reduce these problems. There seems to be plenty of blame to go around for everyone in the f

Thanks for all the responses. I do agree with what was said, and can certainly see reasons not to try. I'll write a little more about what we do. We are a defense contractor, and as I mentioned very high mix, low volume. We only have 1 SMT line.

We do this quite regularly. In fact, it's a core part of our business. And we do it with a single shift. How do we do it? With a strong assembly staff, comprised of people who have a lot of experience working in the engineering prototype space.

Hi, We just had delivered one of these and it's incredible. It's an amazing machine, and watching it load such a large board totally accurately, from end to end is amazing. Apparently we took delivery of only the second machine to ship in the world
