Good morning technetters:

I am trying to put together a "ballpark" figure regarding the cost
implementation and maintenance of a "good" ESD program.  By "good" I mean
one that will satisfy most of the prevention requirements (and customer
audits) without going "overboard" on ESD prevention and spending thousands
of dollars on items that are "nice" to have but not really necessary.

We have identified the following main items as needs for this program: ESD
floor, ESD bins/boxes for components or product, wrist straps, foot straps,
ESD test kit, ESD mats, ESD packaging.

This program would be implemented at a contract manufacturer's location with
approx. 47,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space.  From what I
remember, it is typically the ESD floor protection (wax, tile, or carpet)
that usually costs the most.

Thoughts on cost?

Thanks!
