The expertise of Universal Instruments' SMT Laboratory is now available on factory floors worldwide, through the Laboratory's new Process Audit service. The Lab is able to quickly optimise processes for surface mount and advanced packaging assembly. This is valuable to businesses seeking to maximise productivity.
The results from a process audit can be used directly to reach targets agreed at the beginning of the audit, says Universal Instruments. The Lab has established a structure which each process audit follows, ensuring consistency and providing the best possible foundation from which the audit can successfully deliver the agreed results. Each audit is performed as a consultative process, and the structure includes a review of the results from each stage and scope to agree objectives for the next step. Beginning with a comprehensive review of the process and existing yield and reliability issues, the results of the initial process audit are documented and presented for further discussion. Recommendations arising from the process audit are then implemented subject to customer agreement. The improvements achieved are measured and documented ahead of presentation of a final report.
Common objectives for a process audit include increasing end of line yield, reducing labour and materials costs due to scrap and rework, enhancing repeatability or product quality, or reducing assembly time and process steps. These lead to savings in utilities, capital equipment costs, maintenance and work in progress costs. An audit may also establish an accurate benchmark for a continuous improvement program, as well as highlighting potential future enhancements.
