Hi All!

here is another problem we have with our assembly....

We get a few inquieries for assembly per week. We usually offer including
all componets. Getting component prices is really a pain in the 'deleted' in
Hong Kong. Specially since the inquiery/order ratio is something like 1:20

My question is:

Is there any common component data format?
What software I can use best as a own input price databank?
Are there any online databanks where I can get quick reference prices?

We are planning to set up a databank for ourselve, but I like to use a
'near to reality' format so we can match one or the other inquiery very fast.

You guys working in assembly must face probably the same problems. How do
YOU handle it?

Any help is appreciated!

Jens Behrens
