Hi Jim,
 I should think you would want to record the shorts & opens for tracibility to
correct the root cause and decrease your touch up. Just a thought.....

My company is unclear as to how we should be recording and reporting defects
with our PCB assemblies.  Some think that all shorts and opens prior to touch-
up should be reported as defects, others believe we should report only defects
found after touch-up.

Questions:
1.)  How do other companies do this?
2.)  Is there an industry standard method for reporting defects?
3.)  Is there an IPC (or other organization's) standard or manual for
reporting procedures?

Thanks to all,  Jim Mathis
