Objectives for such a process audit include increasing end-of-line yield, reducing labor and materials costs, enhancing repeatability or product quality, or reducing assembly time and steps leading to savings. An audit may also establish an accurate benchmark for a continuous improvement program, as well as highlighting potential enhancements. “This service translates the SMT lab’s knowledge into better process performance for our customers”, said director George Westby. “Manufacturers do not have time to study their processes and develop ways to improve throughput, end-of-line yield or productivity. We are well positioned to advise how to implement, optimize and troubleshoot mature and cutting-edge processes”.
