Good Morning Tech Group,

We have a customer that is a Tier 1 supplier to the automotive industry.  We
are a subcontractor to them.  They are taking the QS9000 quality standard
and applying it on us.  They have also advised us that they are looking for
a 25 PPM (parts per million) on all of their electronics assemblies we make
for them.  My question is this, is there a documented PPM study or survey
that was completed for the electronics industry?  Is the 25 PPM an realistic
goal?  Some of our machines that are brand new are spec'd to have a 200 PPM
"out of the box".  If this is the case...then obtaining 25 PPM would seem
almost impossible without redundant inspections.

If there is anyone who could assist me in this, I would really appreciate
it.
