Appendix 6 Overview of each Process Flow

• Process Flow A -- This is for products that have
  a combination of automated machine insertion,
  hand assembly, test, and final assembly. Some
  customers however do not require final assembly.
• Process Flow B -- This is for products that have
  surface mount components, and in some cases hand
  assembly components also. Some customers require
  surface mount assembly only.
• Process Flow C -- This is for products that have
  a combination of surface mount, automated machine
  insertion, hand assembly, test, final assembly
  and functional test.
• The product mix by process is Process A 25
• Process B 25
• Process C 50
