Overview
This webinar will discuss these barriers to high performance SMT Production, and techniques for achieving on-time delivery goals with high quality and the lowest possible unit cost.
Today’s Surface Mount Technology (SMT) factories face many major obstacles in efficient SMT production planning. The greater the number and types of SMT lines in production, the more important it is to find the SMT production plan that can balance the load between lines and optimize scheduled performance.
Quickly transforming product design data into SMT production recipes, without loss of fidelity, is crucial. But, the massive variability of the SMT factory can work against intelligent, sustainable, factory planning. The result is often missed schedules and/or missed unit cost targets.
What You Will Learn
- How streamlined Surface Mount Technology data preparation methods can reduce downtime and improve product quality
- How product-grouping-strategies impact product flow
- How to overcome SMT manufacturing challenges that prevent accurate, fast “what if” scenarios for capacity and shift planning
- How to compare the value of “static setups” and “dynamic grouping” and ensure the best one is used
- How to overcome cross-platform product grouping challenges
- How to achieve optimum schedule performance in SMT production lines
