It was the best of times, it was the wurst( but that's a link to another
story) of times and Ken has added a new twist to it. We have just
included FOD in our workmanship section, unless it creates thieving in
the copper field.

Steve,

We took sort of the same approach and developed our own guidelines. We
did add the "Julia Childs" test at the end of assembly... "Shake the
dickens out of it" ;-) and of course listen for anything that might have
snuck into the product.

Hi James!

There used to be MIL-STD-980, but it since has been canceled. Here's a
link to a pretty good guideline that you could adapt and develop a FOD
control program from:

http://www.nafpi.com/nafpiguideline.pdf

Just eliminate the things that really don't apply to a electronics
manufacturing operation. FOD control is pretty straight-forward.
Clean-up after yourself and everything has it's place pretty much sums
it up...

Hello technet:

Our company is trying to implement an FOD control system, but most
training materials are geared for aircraft applications. Does anyone
know of a good source for electronic assembly FOD training materials?
