For those of you in the manufacturing of PCB's you are familiar with a
system designed to identify rejects using codes.  This makes quality
reporting and analizing data more efficient.  I am in the process of
re-developing a re-developed reject identification system in manufacturing.
 This has been an on-going problem as simple as it may sound.  If one tries
to be to specific, you end up with 500 reject codes.  On the other hand if
you try and generalize there is trouble when it comes to root cause
analysis, FMEA and problem solving, there is not enough specific data.  I
am looking into sub-classifying codes by process.  This has not been the
most successful project.  Now I am seeking some help on this issue.  Is
there an industry document or any suggestions from the IPC that may
speed-up this process?  Does anyone have a system that they are using
successfully that they would be willing to share? Any information on this
subject would be helpful.  Thank You!!!
