We have some new customers that are requiring class 3 IPC standards, and my question is, how would that translate into a labor rate increase as compared to class 2 rates? I'm assuming the labor quote would increase by at least 15-20%, if not more. An

Are the jobs so small and the setup time so high that it precludes running them on two or three machines?

For me it looks like a sales issue. Having more operators would probably not help them meet their metric. If you cannot meet or defeat a metric, switch metrics. (said tongue in cheek)

All the response is appreciated. We have 4 SS machines and 2 operators (normally). Some jobs take up to 15 minutes (multiple boards), some take less than 2 minutes (machine time). Some involve fixtures, preheat, some may require the operator to mon

For me it looks like a scheduling issue. You can do time studies on your assemblies and predict the best workload, based on scheduling the jobs in the right sequence. Also it sounds like you have only one operator. Train more people to operate will h

We have several selective soldering machines, that because of several minutes of process time per PCB, one operator can keep 2 or sometimes 3 machines loaded and running. Other days only 1 machine is running but operator does not have enough time to

Is the process the same for every product running through the selective solder machine? Load program, acquire or set up fixture, Change/load flux?, Change/Load solder pot? Are the machines cold when the operators need to use them or are the machin

Cost = Labor + Production Materials + Overhead Cost = Labor * Overhead Multiplier Cost = (Time For Task*Labor Rate*Benefits) * Overhead Multiplier Cost = ((6sec/3600sec/hr)*$10/hr*1.3) * 2 Cost = $0.04

Hi Guys, What about Tear Down process? example is upon job accomplishment in my P&P machines my operators have to unload all those feeders...are they still part of Direct Labor Costing or Indirect Labor Costing. Our process is that Tear Down is an

Wow! How would it be possible to spend $700-$800 in labor to repair a single board? What are labor burdens these days? $30-$40 per hour at most?
