Largo, FL –
The Bare Board Group (BBG) completed its most recent submittal to the IPC Process Capability, Quality and Relative Reliability (PCQR2) Benchmark Database and came away with favorable results. Over a five-week period, BBG submitted a 15-panel set of a 10-layer, 0.062-thick, standardized test panel design created by Conductor Analysis Technologies (CAT). BBG was ranked either equal to or better than its peers in a majority of the criteria that was measured.
“This process capability assessment is an on-going quality improvement project that illustrates our strengths and weaknesses, and allows us to identify areas for process improvement or development. It is not a pass or fail situation, but a comparison to our peers who have submitted similar test panels,” said Greg Papandrew, president of BBG. “We strongly encourage our customers as well as our fellow PCB suppliers to participate in this database that benchmarks PCB manufacturing capabilities.”
