SMT Component Setup
Category: Prep Processes > Kitting
Description: The SMT Component Setup process is part of the “kitting” operation where an operator collects all the component part numbers and respective quantities required to build the specific PCBA or suite of PCBAs. Each component is loaded into either a tape & reel or tray feeder. (See also:

Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA SMT Component Setup
SMT Component Setup Cycle Time is a sum of the time to gather the component from the storage area (pick time), load onto the required feeder, and then unload and return the component to storage at the completion of the job.
Process Time = ((Pick Time + Feeder Load Time + Feeder Unload Time + Stock Return Time)*Quantity of SM Part Types)/Batch Size
Pick Time = (Machine variable)
Feeder Load Time = (Machine variable)
Feeder Unload Time = (Machine variable)
Stock Return Time = (Machine variable)
