PPM/DPMO - Monitoring - About the project
 

Contributing to the SMART Group PPM Monitoring project could not be simpler and should only take a couple of hours per month and provide you data to allow you to benchmark your process for FREE.

If you contribute to the SMART Group PPM Monitoring Project you can access the following information from each of the other anonymous participants:

The actual PPM level from each company per process stage
The PPM level against the PCB technology level being assembled
The type of materials and PCB solder finishes
The size of company and production throughput
The process parameters being used as listed below:
