Dean, My first thought relates to your statement: "I was under the impression that manufacturing engineering was responsible..." We find any statement that begins similar to this to be indicative of other issues within an organization. Unless it'

Mario, Hi, basic point about all quality systems, is the cost justified? Traceability is just one aspect coverage in the quality system. As a pointer, is your diploma project research might focus and narrow down into tracability in high-end product

Without being clear on whether you're talking about: * Standard air knives at the back-end of your in-line cleaner ... OR * Hand held or similar nozzle. Standard air knives: This causes no problem with ESD because the relative humidity is so high t

Ted Dangelmayer's book [ESD Program Management: A Realistic Approach to Continuous Measurable Improvement in Static Control; Dangelmayer, T; Kluwer Academic Pub 1999 e2; 0412136716] is excellent. Often, ESD supplies sales-types use the "Chicken Littl

First, we're not real concerned about gluing induced ESD damage, but conformal coating has a tremendous potential to damage sensitive components. We found a charge of 12 kV generated during the aerosol spraying. Second, ESD-stuff IS very confusing.

Thanks for the responses, and I tend to agree. I would much rather go through a more structured continuous improvment process (set goals, meet them, set new goals and so on). Our company is rather small and made the jump from all through hole to mi

The most effective method is to monitor both printing results and parameters. Periodically (maybe once per month), run QCCalc or another program to measure the machine's capability to hold its set parameters. I also run control charts on the paste h

“The global automotive industry demands world class levels of product quality, productivity and competitiveness as well as continual improvement. To achieve this goal many vehicle manufacturers insist that suppliers are certified to the quality manag

Hi, I agree that professional-role accountability (QA, Process, Manufacturing, Materials, etc...) is of paramount importance. in fact nothing yielding results, gets to be done without followup in continual improvement action unless individuals are

Folks, I use both UP1500 and AccuFlex. The basis for this machine was bought from SMTech several years ago as the SMTech 500. They sold off the last few SMTech machines with the MPM name on them (stupid move because they sucked), but then quickly r
