Hi ya'll!

Well, today, I just got "volunteered" to do something. I'm a SMT Process
engineer here where I work, but got "volunteered" to go and "visit" some of
our board vendors (the ones that we have experienced a little trouble with).
I'm not the board buyer here, nor am I in purchasing, but I've been
"volunteered" to do this anyway...but that's another story.

Me, not being real experienced in this, I went to the IPC web page and
downloaded the IPC-1710 - OEM Standard for Printed Board Manufacturers'
Qualification Profile to use as a "guide" or starting point when I go on
these "visits" so that I don't look like a complete moron. However, after
reading through the standard, it looks to be very thorough and doesn't leave
anything out. There will be some areas in there that I will have to become
more familiar with to be sure.

But my question (and I'm trying to get a feel from the fab guys on this); how
would you take someone like me coming to your shop with the IPC-1710 in hand
to look over things?

Just curious is all...
