We're a CM and can work from either but we prefer the more generic
information. The reason for this is because our people are already trained
to the IPC specs and other industry standards, no need to retrain them to
something special. 

To be trained to customer's specifications usually requires someone either
from their company to come train us or send someone from our place to be
trained at the customer's facility.

We also find it difficult to keep up with customer's specifications if the
revisions of the specs are not kept up on the engineering drawing. Many
times a customer who has their own specifications will not necessarily
notify us if a change has been made to their spec.

I say "keep it simple".

Subject: [TN] Contract Manufacture Assembly Notes

I am in the process of reviewing Assembly specifications for a company that
is moving towards turnkey contract manufacture of most products.

There are 2 formats I've seen previous customers use:

1. A single Assembly drawing with all notes and specifications 
2. A company specification which calls out the generic information (IPC, ESD
handling, etc.) combined with and Assembly drawing which contains product
specific items

Looking for feedback from the Technet community ... What method do you
prefer? What do you see the pros/cons of each method? Do you have any good
example specifications to share?

Thanks,
Dave
