Dear fellows ;

Finally I got cornered from all sides and told by all that instead of
pitiful glances and sour grins upon our creations design reviews it would be
nicer if I'd compile A Design For Manufacturability files and pass them on
our design guys ;
so they have something relevant to hold on when dreaming up the circuits .

Before I get onto this chore :
and I realize it's usually specific to field applied :
is there anything I could scavenge; utilize; adapt; or go by ;
or would somebuddy be willing (this is an unspecified bribery offer) to part
with a copy of their blood and tears creation ?
We run mostly single or double sided cards ; on flash gold ; driving out all
manual (TH) bits currently .

What is the experience with (which?) IPC guidelines ; how dated is what ;
any wonder news ? (arrow pads narrowing under to eliminate balls ; new
reliability oriented decreased pad sizes) ; etc.
What is the >current = next decade< status ?
Any training ; handling and flow trends ?

Thanks A lot for the help

PS
Notes on paste dispensing design utilization's especially appreciated .
