Franklin:
The reason why a new supplier is suggested is because I've had experiences
where I would show the defects to the board manufacturer and he would point
the finger at my process for the cause of the problem. Then I would direct
our purchasing folks to order the next set of cards from a different vendor
and guess what.... The problem goes away. Maybe your suppliers are willing
to investigate their processes as a possible cause, if you have suppliers
like this.... keep them!
