HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKS, UK – Smart Group will present a webinar next month on auditing a surface mount production line. The 90-minute webinar on Apr. 9 will provide a guide to auditing a surface mount production line. Auditing allows companies to assess the steps for continued improvement or selecting an appropriate subcontractor. Delegates will learn skills to better communicate familiar questions and to objectively interpret responses. Topics will include types of surface mount equipment and ancillary items; an overview of the surface mount process; capability of equipment and processes; compiling audit information requirements; SMT key process indicators; process control for SnPb and Pb-free process; rework process and controls, and inspection process control.
