为PWB制造厂选择信息技术供应商可能会很麻烦，也会让人困惑。大多数软件系统的数据库中没有字段来容纳PWB属性，例如孔尺寸、镀层厚度、堆叠高度、多级物料清单或布线顺序。来自软件行业和印刷电路板制造商的代表制定了本指南，以帮助PWB制造商指定新的信息技术系统。IPC-1131确定并记录了特定于PWB行业的关键问题。作为一个清单，该指南将通过考虑总体拥有成本中的所有因素，帮助管理者最大限度地实现其IT投资的回报。 利用这些因素，PWB制造商可以选择正确的信息技术水平，以确保客户服务、控制成本、衡量和提高质量。IPC-1131还将帮助系统供应商了解并满足PWB行业的需求。20页。2000年4月发布。

Choosing an Information Technology provider for a PWB manufacturing facility can be cumbersome and confusing. Most software systems do not have fields within their databases to accommodate PWB attributes such as hole size, plating thickness, stack height, multi-level bills of materials, or routing sequences. Representatives from the software industry and printed circuit board manufacturers have developed this guide to assist the PWB manufacturer in specifying a new information technology system. IPC-1131 identifies and documents key issues specific to the PWB industry. Serving as a checklist, the guide will assist managers in maximizing the return of their IT investment by considering all factors in the total cost of ownership. Using these factors, PWB manufacturers can select the right level of information technology to assure customer service, control costs, and measure and improve quality. IPC-1131 will also assist systems providers in understanding and meeting the needs of the PWB industry. 20 pages. Released April 2000.
