FWIW, where I come from, we call boards that don't work after machine
assembly a "yield problem", and sort out the manufacturing processes
to keep the yield north of 95%.  Trust me, you want the assembly house
on the hook for this stuff, particularly if they signed off on the
"design for manufacturability" _prior_ to having them fab and
assemble the boards.
