Designing a new PCB with consideration for future manufacturing processes is regarded as a best practice within the electronics manufacturing industry. A seasoned layout engineer, equipped with a strong background in electronics manufacturing, can anticipate potential manufacturing issues through thoughtful analysis. When this knowledge must be documented, a systematic approach often involves formalizing the analytical steps into a structured checklist. The most effective approach, however, involves translating this expert knowledge into a digital analysis methodology, thereby minimizing subjectivity and enhancing repeatability and standardization in the design process.
