Wow, this is fantastic! Will you adopt me? Earl needs to get this in his
next book. We went to seminars and meetings and have read paper after paper.
I have been putting together a project scope for two months and have the
individual pieces identified but never in one place. Thank you Mike.

Ken: I am heading up our team at Fluke to identify potential issues for the
change over to lead free solder. I think you'll find it's quite
comprehensive. I hope it's useful to you and the other TechNet users.

Subject: [TN] Leadfree transition plan
Guys,
I have been given a task of implementing Leadfree change over. We are OEM
and our CM to build assemblies for us. Part of my responsibility is to come
out with a clear plan for transition from Pb containing to leadfree
assemblies. Does anyone has created such plan and willing to share with me.
This plan of attack will help us in moving smoothly to leadfree with fewer
headaches. I know I have to work with not only CM but also with suppliers.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Re,
Ken Patel
