My question for the form: When this design was done in the Northeast by the electrical engineer and outsourced to a board assembly house as a turnkey component. What type of quality problems can I expect to deal with durning final assembly and final test? What long term (customer returns) problems may result from this? Do the board fabracation houses on the east coast march to a different drummer than the rest of the country? The electrical engineer does not want to change the drawing to specify what laminate matterial he truly intends to use. The last company I worked for also had this same type of problem. The electrical engineer designs/releases and I have to fix his mistakes.
