I have an Aqueous Technologies stencil cleaner and I can see many SAWA advantages over the "larger" machines. 1. Floor space savings 2. Chemical cost (up to 30 dollars a gallon) 3. Hand ultra sonic cleaning could never destroy the webbing and bon

Hi Guys, I work in Process Engineering and due to some organizational changes I've been assigned to generate BOM's for our manufacturing (we are an OEM). This is something very new to me and I have no experience with this kinda documentation and wou

I'm currently working for a OEM that has 700+ stencils in house and we received 30 to 40 stencil a month. We recently switched to a no clean process which is causing the stencil part numbers to disappear from the stencil frames due to the saponifier

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

hi Stephen, Thank for your comment! Yes! My people also share the same view that customer is asking something which is in more theoretical side. They want us to collect a lot of statistical data to prove our process. Anyway, customer is not only

How do you identify and segregate lead free boards in your factory? Example: Boards are colored RED or BLUE, bar code labels with symbology indicating Lead Free? I have a simple philosophy about this. Keep in mind I work at a High-mix medium vo
