The biggest most important overall factor I have seen is the personel running and looking after the equipment. Any plan not involving them will probably not be effective. The front line people can probably tell you more than you can tell them. I hav

All good points and thank you for your replies. Most of the components lost are discretes. The problem I have is my operators gather any SOIC "lost components" and return them to stores in a small metallised bag. This in turn goes into a 16" X 12" X

I feel it is less pressure from consumers and more from stock holder increased demands for dividends. Every quaters end our publicly traded customers go bezerk on increased orders to show increased finished goods and less component inventory. All t

Simplify. FInd your botle-neck process (use a stop watch). You assume it is a P&P machine...(it could also be print or glue etc.) Your only concern is that bottle neck process and how many parts / hour that process can deliver. That is your gatin

| I am interested in seeing how some of you quote smt work. Currently we quote off a bom without component packages known then look in data books to find out what type of component they are. This job will be mine soon but i really believe there is a

Multiple Factors that account for Scrap: During Set-Up: A percentage will not work. When setting up feeders you will normally use a certain length of populated pockets. The amount of parts this affects depends on 1.type of feeder 2.type of part

Some manufacturing companies, specially those in the small and medium scale find it hard to decommission/scrap equipment specially if they can still use them even though these equipment are giving them head aches on downtime and quality. I just would

There is not "one size fits all" answer. One criteria I've heard used is scrap it after so many hours of troubleshooting if it's not fixed. End use of the board would be a factor as well. I would want someone giving up salvaging a board for a defibr

Does anyone have any industry standard yield factors to load at the component level to account for set up scrap and machine waste during production? I'm assuming there are different percentages used for each package size (0402, 0603, SOIC8, etc) but

We regularly strip conformal coating for military customers. Connector removal is not required. The type of coating is the biggest factor. Acrylics and silicones are easy and will come off nicely without any other damage. Epoxy and fully cured polyur
