This may seem off the wall but I've seen it work in the past. It is a visual management system without the need for barcodes or spreadsheets. Obtain quantities of different colored clothespins. When a reel is taken out of inventory, attach a colored

I think what you are asking for is called First Pass Yield and for us that is in the upper 90s. It will depend on the board complexity and quantity - makes big difference if you run 10pcs or a 10000pcs. Regards, Emil

The advantage of DPMO is that the numbers used are PPM, (Part Per Million), rather than percentage. Percentage can distort, depending on volume. For instance, 100 units processed, 25 defects found = 75 percent yield. 4 units processed, 1 defect found

We currently operate a procedure of keeping fresh tubes of solder paste in a fridge. When it is required we remove the required quantity from the tube and return the tube to the fridge before it warms up to room temperature. We then store this at r

How are you counting parts back into stock? If it is an estimation then that could be your problem. One place I worked, the stockroom estimates were usually double what the lead hand would estimate. If you are using a counter then your rate is probab

If there are parts "non-identifiable" then you don't know their cost. Parts under a certain cost you don't worry about. That leaves only category "A" parts to concern yourself with. Know your attrition rates especially for parts over a certain cos

To be honest with you, it doesn't really matter how you present the data, as long as you understand what the problems are. Bottom line is who cares what the numbers are unless you are doing something about it. Are you able to track the individual de
