Reading the original post.. Floyd, do you remember the old overhead projectors back before we had the new fancy video projectors? Just get a clear sheet of that plastic and print your outline on that. Put that sheet over the stencil and presto, you

Beyond the materials cost, one approach to estimating the cost of assembling a board is: 1 Direct cost * Determine the processes required to assemble the board * Separate parts on BOM according to process * Multiply number of parts in each process by

You can assess these costs anyway that makes sense to you. These machinery costs are 'direct' to the product. You could call them manufacturing overhead or machine cost. It all depends on what makes sense. As an example, depending on the products you

I am working on trying to define a cost per placement measure in our SMT assembly operations. Does anyone know where I might find a published industry average that we may compare to? I�ve heard it stated that an industry average is less than $0.01

| How is cost per placement calculated? | Let me count the ways. Oh, this is not Jennifer to whom I'm talking. No matter, what's your environement? Is it prototype, high mix/low volume, low mix/high volume, etc.? It could some down to simply calcul

I agree with Dave. The only reliable way is to perform a time study using a watch with decimal minutes. Setup the study using an average rated operator and time 10 component insertions (from pick up to hands off), time 10 component soldering operati

Does your company use an MRP system? If so you should be able to print a report that defines assembly due dates as well as the time it takes to process each assembly. What I do is print the report at the begining of the week for everyone to work from

We had the overhead music from speakers for about three years. When the bickering over station and/or content became too hard to deal with, we stopped all music. Disaster! For the last six years, we have had a policy of no Walkmans for new employees
