Question 1 of 8

1. Question
PRE-PRODUCTION

A new customer sends you an RFQ with their Gerber files. What can you do now, to already show the value we add?
- I do a quote with benchmark values as it's the quickest option.
- I write the quote first, and then give feedback on the design if they decide to make business with us.
- I can check the design for errors or opportunities before I write the quote. If i find any, I can prepare several alternatives on quotes.

Question 2 of 8

2. Question
PRE-PRODUCTION

You’re in a quote follow-up call with a new potential customer. They’re unsure why our approved factories are so much better than the factory they’ve used for ages.

What can you say about how we work, that shows the value we add in the Pre-Production Process?
- "We're VERY strict with what material we use. It can only come from NCAB-approved brands we know are reliable, it needs to be traceable, and have a Certificate of Compliance"
- "I'm afraid that's confidential"
- "You'll probably get the same quality from us, but at least you won't have to work so hard for it"
- "Our Factory Management team do regular and detailed inspections of material stock and storage to make sure it's stored correctly and isn't past use-by date"
- "We use an EQ-template to make sure the factory doesn't make any changes without written approval"
- "We have our own NCAB PCB Specification that is above IPC standards, to not miss any important features that otherwise may be overlooked"
- "You'll get it cheaper from us!"
- "Our technicians help you optimize your design for production, and we help you with the factory's EQs"

3. Question
PRE-PRODUCTION

Question 5 of 8

5. Question
INNER LAYERS

Your customer says:

“Why are you so picky about the clean rooms? My go-to factory’s clean rooms are not at your approved levels, but I’ve never had any problems with them.”

What can you say to that?”
- "Because according to ISO890, we need to make sure the staff in the factory breathe fresh air!"
- "Because if some dirt, dust, or hair gets stuck somewhere, like in the photo sensitive film, it will create costly problems and possibly open circuits later on the processes!"
- "Because if else, we will get fined by the IPC!"
Correct

6. Question
INNER LAYERS

The factory calls you after the AOI is complete. They have discovered an “open” and wants to repair it, following normal procedure. How do you respond to that?
- "Sorry, we don't allow repairs of open circuits. Please scrap."
- "Go ahead, as long as it meets IPC standards."
- "Please send the board back to us for manual inspection and repair."
- "Please fix it as soon as possible."
