I am doing some research for a PWB user and/or manufacturer looking to reduce costs by out sourcing inspection services. I am looking for a service that would provides on call/contract employees. Also, these employees must have been trained to IPC specification and the PWB user preferences.

For the PWB user this service would be used for supplier development and data collection. The supplier development would involve sampling incoming lots based on user specification. If the lot fails, provide 100% rescreen of the material. The data collection needed is a supplier Database containing lot and defect information. Then providing DPM trend charts, Lot Rejection Rate, Lot Defect Rate, and Defect Pareto by Work Week.

For the PWB manufacturer, this service would be used for final inspection of their outgoing product. As well as providing inspectors who can go to the customer and 100% rescreen of any failed material.

Please email any information you may have on any company providing these types of services. My E-mail account is [log in to unmask]
