INTERIM MEETING TO DEVELOP A DOCUMENT ON STANDARDIZED DEFECT CATEGORIES AND PARTS PER MILLION DEFECT RATE CALCULATION TO BE HELD Monday September 8, 1997 IN THE PASEO ROOM, FAIRMONT HOTEL, SAN JOSE, CA
Dear Colleagues:
It has become apparent based on a number of IPC studies, TechNet discussions and member comments that there is misunderstanding of interconnect assembly defect identification and reporting. At the recommendation of the IPC Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry Management Council, and the National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative, IPC is starting to work to standardize the categorization of assembly defects, and to develop a common definition for parts-per million defect calculation and reporting.
A common definition for parts-per-million defects will help the electronics assembly industry benchmark its performance and quality. Standardized defect identification and categorization permits the industry to communicate with a common "language", facilitates electronic reporting and more efficiently assesses the manufacturing process.
Location of the Meeting
The kick-off meeting for this project will occur during Surface Mount International in San Jose, California, on Monday, September 8. 1997. We will meet from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Pasco Room of the Fairmont Hotel.
