Hello Sirs, I would really appreciate if somebody could help me to understand how these elements of cost bellow can affect the total cost of an SMT facility. I am studying these numbers for benchmarking purposes. 1) Equipment amortization 2) Maint

Recognize that the cost of production changes substantially with factors such as: * Product maturity. * Production volume. * Product complexity. * Quality versus cost functions. So, in your benchmarking effort, consider baselining your data accordin

I also need help with the following Questions: 1. What is estimated yearly external service/support costs? 2. What kind of internal expertise do we need for in-house operation and maintenance? 3. How many operators are typically needed for one pnp m

All, I have been asked to review how we come up with costing of products. Basically, can anyone share how they do this i.e. If the machine can run 60 boards per hour what is a fair allowance for reel changes etc. I am guessing 15% . Any help/ad

Hi, One other note. You don't want gold to be more than 1% to 2% of the the solder joint. Above this percentage you will have embrittlemant issues. Lots of information on gold embrittlement on this site and on the Internet. I estimate your produ

Hi, What is the expected reject rate for capacitors on a CP643 machine. I estimate that we are dumping around 1 in 20 on average. I have played around with lighting levels,vision types etc. Nozzles are in mint condition. Can anyone offer any advice

we buy a mpm and start to clean it, and find so much paste in it my help says did they put any paste on the boards or just throw it inside the machine. Some operators waste so much paste and the engineers ask how much did we use, they should be aski

They knew we had waste and accepted that as a part of doing business, and allowed the total usage to float while attributing all of the variance to waste. They HAD to have accurate per board values for the BOM, though. I'm just thankful they didn

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
