CEERIS is soliciting survey participants from all segments of electronics assembly. OEMs may choose to participate with data from  internal operations or by facilitating data from their box assembly outsource suppliers. CEERIS also seeks participation from multiple sites within single companies.

The methodology to assemble conversion cost statistics as designed by CEERIS is based on specific box assembly part numbers deemed representative of a given shop floor environment or product type. By limiting the study to selected part numbers, participants do not have to research and disclose more data than is necessary, the firm said. All responses are kept confidential, CEERIS said.
