Why does the PCB manufacturer always ask for a change in your PCB design?

Many a time our PCBA manufacturer calls us about a problem of the design file. Sometimes we think it is time-consuming to discuss this issue. Just want to know why they always do that.

Maybe you are frustrated about why your PCB design required to be changed on factory side, but I want to say this is a frequent and common thing in the PCBA OEM market.

Actually, they are checking on Design For Manufacturability (DFM), which can avoid lots of problems during manufacturing. It costs extra time and energy for them to run it through, but is very important to lay a solid base for further procedure.

What Others Are Asking

How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

I go through this every time I have PCBs I need to populate with SMD parts, and this has become more an issue as pin spacings have gotten tighter, and my hands have become less steady with age. How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

How do you usually organize SMT parts during PCB assembly?

Suppose one is hand-assembling a board with many SMT components. Unlike THT, SMT components are often not labeled. How might one keep small (<100) quantities of such parts properly organized during assembly? Are there particular tools? Storage devices? Methods?
