San DiegoOn time Delivery – 84.5% average

First Pass Yield –After the SMT machine – 40% - found misalignment problem with components –

tracked it back to stencil printer, replaced motor and encoder 11/18

After the Wave Solder – 25% - cleaned the solder pots after 4 years of usage – 11/5

After the touch up from the wave solder – 60% - assemblers still forgetting to place

all components on – re-work affecting class 3 jobs

After the hand trimming of the leads after touch up – 90% - looking into getting

automated machine

After the insert of LED’s on the back side – 80%, because there are no batch sizes,

interruptions are happening affecting components being placed 100%

After the wash and at final inspection – 90%, process improved due to switch in

solder mask, and new washer

Before

AFTER

The lead and lead-free solder pots had not been cleaned for more than 4 years effecting quality, requiring touch-up and re-work;

resulting in, field failures for class 2 - 3 projects.

1. Bins for WIP were everywhere on the production floor

2. Inventory was in 5 locations in building3. There was no work space on any work station due

to excessive tools/ feeder guns, garbage

BEFORE

1. Eliminated tables and work stations2. Controlled inventory and projects in WIP3. Implemented ESD protocols for smocks, tables, heel

straps, and floor

AFTER

1. Considered all safety hazards and concerns – like extension cords, hanging wires, pvc piping.

2. Removed all solder stations and replaced them with digital equipment

3. Removed all fans from work stations and replaced them with extraction fans

BEFORE

AFTER

Because we had a fire on the production floor that was contained in our inline washer, we were able to get through insurance: a new washer, copper piping and an air compression station; meanwhile, removing all old equipment.
