They always tell you to calculate ROI, when they want to blow you off. Do a net search using - calculate ROI. Links to three pretty good descriptions on this are: http://www.dmreview.com/editorial/dmreview/print_action.cfm?EdID=2487 http://www.eval

Thank Dave, your information was really helpful. Now that I have another few thousands of old datecode PCBs which has an Entek and HASL finished. Entek PCBs are about 6 � 1.5 years old and HASL boards are at 1 - 2 years old. To make it worse, s

I am task to make productivity improvement for production. The line configuration is as follow: MPM Printer/S20/S20/S20/S20/GSM/GSM/MVT/BTU How to calculate the capacity of the above configuration? What factors do I need to consider?

Does any one know how to calculate BGA height change after reflow oven? I guess the calculation will be based on the component size, weight, ball diameter and ball count of the BGA, but how to get the actual height?

Dial indicator on a post/base. You might need a fine point tip to get between adjascent components and the BGA. Or... if you're real fance schmancy you could use a CMM if you have one.

How do we calculate number of board ( WIP ) at every stations for JIT lines. Inputs are welcome.

I can't comment on the firm, but the approach is a good starting point for calculating your Kanbans is with capacity lot sizing http://www.synchronousmanagement.com/cls.html

In a true JIT system, there is no WIP, only raw materials and finished goods. (RIP is the raw in process.) In this type of system, you should only have one board at each work station, with possibly some assemblies in kanbans in between stations. Ev

Not sure what software you have, but somehow you must be accumulating costs by process and you probably know [or can figure-out] how many boards you processed. From this, you can calculate a standard cost of a process. Continuing, there is a thread,

Hi davef, couple of questions: clarifying costing of direct labor against overhead cost: an operator loading PCB onto the reflow oven is a direct cost, how about the reflow process time of the PCB while travelling inside the reflow, is that an ove
