Choose the right perspective
Match the person's seat to your question, since running SMT production on the floor differs from setting SMT process standards across plants or getting new board designs ready for manufacturing. Also consider the product type and volume they worked with, because high-volume automotive electronics raise different problems than lower-volume products.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set up and staff SMT lines so a new board reaches stable production quickly?
- 02Which measures do you watch most closely to keep PCBA scrap and first-pass yield under control?
- 03How do you decide when to move, add or rebuild an SMT line as volumes change?
