Economic justification and rating systems for electrical interconnect designs

Considerable emphasis is now being placed on the design of products, since product complexity significantly influences manufacturing cost. There is therefore a need to develop tools which can justify the selection of a design at the early conceptual stage, where it has been proven that substantial i...

Description
Summary:Considerable emphasis is now being placed on the design of products, since product complexity significantly influences manufacturing cost. There is therefore a need to develop tools which can justify the selection of a design at the early conceptual stage, where it has been proven that substantial improvement in productivity and manufacturing cost can be obtained. Existing economic justification techniques require detailed part and assembly information and the presence of a developed process plan.
