SMT Optimization

OBJECTIVE

Improve Capacity Utilization from 35% to >65% on high value (5mill €) SMT
Equipment in Chennai
 Derive clear & tangible sub-objectives & translate into execution roadmap

APPROACH  Drive Simplicity in process & minimize Non Value Add activities
 Win Together through involvement of people & enable empowerment at root.

RESULTS








Equipment Utilization
: 35.2% to 84.5%
Cost Benefit (2 lines p.a.) : 336K€*
Step impact upon process yields
: 79.2% to 85.1%
Consumable cost saving p.a.
: 50K€
SMT component attrition/scrap
: 0.9% to 0.08%
Improved Health & Safety and morale of SMT Team
* Based upon P9 benefit of 28K€ over and above 65% utilization

FUTURE
IMPACT

Horizontal deployment of best practice across future SMT investments.
Project enabled effective utilization of 3rd SMT Line(2.2 mill €) from installation

SMT Optimization

Project Constraint

Counter Approach

Very little / No data available for
analysis

Constraint
Management

• Established model to determine target KPI
• Implementation of measurement systems
• Implement obvious & quick gainers

Operator absenteeism in SMTDifficulty in implementation &
sustaining improvements

• Operator Independent improvements
• Reduce operator Inter-dependence
• Multi-skilling & empowerment on critical
activities

Adequate availability of skilled
operators

• Simplification of processes/activities

• Formation of Core team for each project- Agreement on targets
• Brainstorming sessions & mind mapping for each project & each stage

Project
Framework

• Standardized templates for communicating actions, tracking progress, recording
improvements & effects.
• Risk & constraint management through brainstorming & feedbacks from practical
implementation activities.
• Weekly monitoring & reporting of project milestone results.

Best Practice (bonus points)
SMT OPTIMIZATION
When planning your project, did you utilize previous
lessons learnt or other Good Practices from external
sources?
If yes, how did you locate them?

Past experience in the industry was beneficial in implementing some
good practice actions.
The planning and the mathematical model were developed based
upon local constraints.

What are the key learning from this project to you
and your project team/ unit?
What made you different?

The team learnt and experienced that ambitious and sustainable
results can be achieved only through systematic, structured and
focussed team approach.

Why do you think that your project could serve as a
Good Practice example for others within NSN?

This project demonstrates how best results can be achieved. Many
manufacturing practices are new and can be adopted across sites to
simplify processes.

Has your project solution/ approach already been
used as inspiration for another project?
Or are you aware if a similar approach or solution
has been adopted elsewhere in NSN due to your
Good Practice communication?

Best practices that came out of the project have been successfully
implemented on 3rd SMT line enabling quick ramp up.

What has been your and/or the team's specific
contribution in communicating / sharing and
supporting the adoption and usage of this best
practice in the other projects?

Some key cost saving ideas like consumable cost reduction have
been shared with the NSN Board Assembly community.
