With due respect, it is apparent that your benchmark DPMO's are not
compiled in compliance with the IPC-7912 standard.  Your website publishes
Monthly Average DPMO's in categories which are not consistent with this
standard, including a category (Screen Printing) which was deliberately
omitted from the standard by the development Task Group.  This is true of
the currently released version of IPC-7912 as well as the working draft of
Revision A which the DPMO Task Group produced in May of this year.

I applaud all efforts to compile this important benchmark data and I
congratulate you on leaving the IPC effort in the dust.  Nevertheless,
while your definitions may be intuitive to your participants, they don't
jibe with IPC-7912 (perhaps they're a closer match to IPC-9621 for process
DPMO's).
