In this blog space I’m going to “look under the hood” of electronics assembly processes, dissect why we do things the way we do them and expose hidden opportunities for improvement.
What are the key quality metrics that customers really care about? What’s the difference between DPM and DPMO anyway?
How can you optimize material flow so that material isn’t just sitting around depreciating, but is in constant motion?
Why do we care about OEE? …. or do we?
Is traceability overrated? What does it mean? Why is it that when one vendor talks about traceability, it isn’t the same as another?
Bookmark my blog site, and stay tuned…..
How can I free up setup time on the machine? How about freeing setup time on hand-insertion stations?
It takes me a whole day to get programs and documentations out to the floor, why is that, and how can I improve that?
How can I expose the true root cause of defects?
How can I expose the opportunities to improve my manufacturing operations to get more business?
……and many other questions are going to be exposed.
Bookmark my blog site, and stay tuned. I would love to hear from you….feel free to comment on my posts! We all learn from each other’s experiences (positive or negative).
