Hello,

I like to get your inputs on evaluating a customer design prior to
building a prototype (electronic assembly). This may include any DFM/DFT
analysis and also in-house capability analysis.

Specifically, what key features of the assembly do you consider in
analyzing the product for any manufacturing issue that may arise during
the build?

For example, just to name a few:
- Mixed technology -> affect process selection and flow
- type of devices on board (0402, BGA, washable comp., heat sensitive
comp)
- jigs & fixtures requirements
- board finish, size etc.

Also how would each of the features affect your decision and method to
build?

I am looking for a more comprehensive checklist or steps that one can go
through or follow in analyzing the product design prior to quoting and
prototyping. I would greatly appreciate any inputs on this rather large
topic. Later on I can provide a summary of all the feedbacks I receive
as well.


Rgds,
Peter Lee
Creation Technologies Inc.
