Easier sed than done.

It's very difficult to spec every component. This gives sub-vendors a
lotta room to wiggle. I recall when our company subbed out it's
custom PCBs to an award winning vendor. Figured a nationally known
company that had won awards for quality/excellence to provide quality
products. We soon discovered, since we had not fully spec'd every
component, the vendor could substitute sub-std parts to improve their
profit margin. In short, we began receiving substandard PC boards
that failed. Hadda go back and spec individual component parts.
Either way, it costs us $$$$.
