The document discusses printed circuit boards (PCBs), including:
- PCBs provide an electrical and mechanical platform for electronic components.
- The PCB manufacturing process involves laminating copper foil to a substrate, then etching patterns and drilling holes to connect components.
- Copper is the dominant metal used due to its conductivity and ability to be easily patterned. Foil is bonded to substrates using heat, pressure, and adhesive.
- Substrates use materials like fiberglass-epoxy or polyimide to provide insulation and mechanical support at different temperature ranges. Multilayer boards stack patterned substrates.
1. Surface mount technology (SMT) involves mounting electronic components directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards rather than inserting them into holes. This allows for higher circuit densities and smaller components.
2. Key SMT processes include solder paste application, component placement, soldering via reflow or wave soldering methods, cleaning, and potential repair or rework.
3. Reflow soldering is now more common than wave soldering. It involves heating components on the board to melt solder paste using a reflow oven. This bonds components directly to pads on the circuit board surface.
Wire bonding is used to electrically interconnect integrated circuits to packages so they can be handled, tested, and used in electronic products. There are two main types of wire bonding: ball bonding and wedge bonding. Ball bonding uses a capillary tool to form a ball bond on the chip and substrate, while wedge bonding uses a wedge tool. Wire bonding allows for high-speed, economical connections and is the most common interconnection method. It enables signals and power to be distributed from the packaged IC to the rest of the system while also providing mechanical support and environmental protection.

PCB Assembly Testing and Inspection
PCBA testing refers to the test of electrical conductivity and input-output value based on PCBA board with electronic components.
Why PCBA testing?
In the design of PCB, there is a numerical relationship between different test points, such as voltage and current. However, the process flow of PCBA production and processing is very complex, including many important processes such as the PCB manufacturing process, component procurement, and inspection, SMT patch assembly, dip plug-in PCBA test. In the process of production and processing, various problems may occur due to improper equipment or operation. Therefore, it is necessary to use professional test equipment or a manual multimeter to test the test points, To verify whether the actual PCBA Board meets the design requirements and ensure that each product will not have quality problems.
PCBA testing is a key step to ensure the quality of production and delivery. FCT test fixture is made according to the test point program and test steps designed by customers, and then the PCBA board is placed on the FCT test rack to complete the test.
Testing is crucial to ensure high quality products are delivered to customers. Thankfully board assemblers offer multiple layers of testing and inspection to ensure high-quality, assembled Circuit boards are produced and delivered to customers. Despite all efforts to prevent errors, printed circuit board assembly is a complex process and defects sometimes occur relating to a variety of issues from incorrect component loading to failures in SMT equipment. Thorough testing and inspection occurs throughout the production process to ensure problems are captured early on, ensuring high quality and yield.

Overall, computer aided process planning aims to reduce time, labor, costs and improve precision and understanding of manufacturing processes.
Mineral processing plant design and optimisation Basdew Rooplal
This document discusses the design and optimization of mineral processing plants. It provides an overview of the general procedures for plant design which include ore testing, process definition, flowsheet design, simulation, and commissioning. Flowsheet design is a crucial step and involves arranging equipment and interconnections to achieve the goals specified in the design criteria. Plant simulations can be used throughout the design process to test flowsheets, size equipment, and estimate capital costs. Overall simulations and ongoing optimization are important for improving plant performance and minimizing costs over the life of the operation.
Scan design is currently the most popular structured DFT approach. It is implemented by Connecting selected storage elements present in the design into multiple shift registers, called Scan chains.

This document discusses lean manufacturing systems and factors influencing facility layout designs. It describes the main types of layouts including process, product, and fixed-position layouts as well as hybrid layouts like cellular manufacturing, flexible manufacturing systems, and mixed-model assembly lines. The goals of layout design are to ensure smooth material and information flow while arranging machines, departments, workstations, and storage areas. Process layouts group similar activities together and are suitable for low-volume production, while product layouts arrange activities in operational sequence for mass production. Hybrid layouts aim to balance the flexibility of process layouts with the efficiency of product layouts.
Throughput Accounting (Management Accounting and Finance)Kiran Hanjar
Throughput accounting is an alternative management accounting approach that focuses on identifying organizational constraints and increasing throughput. It measures three key factors - throughput, investment, and operating expenses. Throughput is revenue minus variable costs, investment refers to money tied up in inventory and assets, and operating expenses are all non-variable costs. Managers use these three measures to evaluate how decisions impact profits and determine if options will increase throughput, decrease investment, or lower expenses. The approach was developed as part of the Theory of Constraints and differs from traditional cost accounting by not allocating all costs and instead prioritizing throughput generation.
This document describes the trend adjusted exponential smoothing forecasting method. It is a quantitative time series forecasting technique that calculates the weighted average of the current actual value and previous forecast, with an adjustment made for any trend present in the data. The trend adjustment is calculated using a smoothing constant and prior trend value. The method is preferred when a trend or seasonal pattern is evident in historical data. An example is provided to illustrate how to compute forecasts using this method by calculating the unadjusted forecast, trend, and adjusted forecast over multiple time periods.
AUTHORSHIP AND THE ALLOCATION OF CREDIT ( Design of Research )Kiran Hanjar
This document discusses authorship and the allocation of credit in academic research. It defines authorship as reserving credit for those who make primary contributions to the concepts, data, and interpretation of published work. To be eligible for authorship, the document states a person must make major contributions to the design, analysis, or interpretation of the work and participate in drafting or revising the article. Issues around authorship include determining who receives credit in collaborative work and preventing problems like inappropriate authorship order or "ghost authors". The document provides guidelines for authorship and acknowledging secondary contributions to research.
This document summarizes a joint venture between Mahindra & Renault to produce the Logan sedan in India. Under the agreement, Mahindra would own 51% and Renault 49% of a new entity called Mahindra Renault Ltd. The JV planned to produce 50,000 cars per year at an estimated cost of 125 million euros. However, disagreements over issues like costs, design, marketing and manufacturing led Renault to exit the venture. Mahindra was then able to license the Logan brand from Renault and continue producing the car under the new name "Verito". The summary highlights the lack of transparency, shared responsibility and aligned goals between the partners that ultimately caused the JV to fail.
The presentation discusses factories of the future and how innovative production technologies can enhance productivity and manufacturing. It focuses on four main technological challenges: ICTs like robotics and automation, virtual factories, adaptive production, and high-precision manufacturing. Factories of the future aim to be green/sustainable, close to customers, collaborative in value chains, and human-centered. Several EU projects were highlighted that develop technologies for advanced manufacturing processes, mechatronics, information and communication, and minimizing defects. The overall goal is to achieve economic, social, and environmental sustainability in manufacturing.
Indian space science has progressed significantly since independence. Key developments include:
1) ISRO was established in 1969 to advance India's space program, launching its first satellite, Aryabhata, in 1975 aboard a Soviet rocket.
2) India developed its own launch vehicles like SLV, ASLV, and PSLV to independently launch satellites in the 1970s-1980s. The successful PSLV became India's workhorse launch vehicle.
3) Major satellites included the INSAT series for communication, broadcasting, and meteorology and the IRS series for remote sensing applications in agriculture, resources, disaster management and more.
4) GSLV was successfully developed to launch heavier satellites into

2. Aim of the Presentation
• Understanding PCB assembly using simulation with
DOE approach
• To assess the feasibility of process flow logic and
relative impact of changing line configurations
• It is aimed to identify constraints or bottlenecks and
development of improvement strategies accordingly
• By using DOE, the factors that are affecting the system’s
efficiency are identified
• Finally to improve the system’s overall performance

3. Introduction
Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly
•Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly lines fall under the general
category of serial production lines
•Common problems faced in these lines include designing
configuration of existing or future lines to meet target production
rates
•Simulation modeling can capture the complex behaviour and
interaction between various components of PCB assembly lines
•This is very much important to analyze and help to make better
decisions

4. Introduction
Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing
•PCB can be classified into two categories based on the type
of components placed on the board
– Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
– Insertion Mount Technology (IMT)
Six steps involved in SMT manufacturing are explained as
follows:
• Attachment Media Dispensing
•Component Placement
•Curing
•Soldering

8. Simulation Modeling and Analysis
The steps involved in a simulation
•Input analysis: involves collection and analysis of data, and
definition as well as validation of conceptual model
•Model development: involves simulation model development
followed by verification and validation of the simulation model
•Output analysis: where performance metrics of the system are
determined and analysed
Some of the advantages of simulation are:
•Simulation offers better control over experimental conditions
•Animation provided by simulation enables better understanding of
the system
•Alternative proposed system configurations can be compared
using simulation

10. Step 1 : Collect input data
This data may be extracted from historical databases of the line
under consideration (if the manufacturing line already exists) or
a similar line (if line is non-existent, i.e. proposed).
•Machine Data
•Operator data
•Inspection and rework data
•Oven data
•Buffer data
•Conveyor data
•Traverser/shuttle data
For a PCB that has to get shipped it has to start from Solder paste
assembly then to component placement, Reflow oven, Pin through
holes, Wave soldering, In-circuit testing, Final mechanical assembly,
Board functional testing, Repair if any and finally to packing.
10
12. Process carried out in each Section
Solder Paste Assembly
•In PCBA the paste printing process accounts for the majority of
assembly defects
•Over sixty percent of all soldering defects are due to problems
associated with the screening process
•Parameters such as squeegee pressure, squeegee speed, stencil
separation speed, snap-off and stencil cleaning interval are the most
important factors in the process to achieve a better yield
•The set up time taken is around five to seven minutes, two minutes
is required to paste on stencil to get completed, Board printing
takes one minute and visual inspection takes around two minutes
and vary depending on the complexity of the board
• So the time taken for the entire process is around six minutes
12
13. Component Placing
• In the pick & place station, only one components is taken
from the component feeder by means of a vacuum pipette,
and is placed on the PCB
• Based on the complexity of the PCB the process time varies
between seven and twelve minutes
13
14. Reflow oven
• A reflow oven is a machine used primarily for reflow
soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed
circuit boards
• The oven contains multiple zones, which can be individually
controlled for temperature
• The PCB moves through the oven on a conveyor and is therefore
subjected to a controlled time-temperature profile
• Some ovens are designed to reflow PCBs in an oxygen-free
atmosphere. Nitrogen (N2) is a common gas used for this purpose.
This minimizes oxidation of the surfaces to be soldered
14
15. In-Circuit Test (ICT)
•
Here, checking for shorts, opens,
resistance, capacitance, and other
basic quantities which will show
whether the assembly was correctly
fabricated
• It may be performed with a bed of
nails type test fixture and specialist
test equipment
• Based on the design of the circuit
and complexity it takes around five
to fifteen minutes to undergo this
process

modern digital oscilloscope an oscilloscope
15
16. Board Functional Test (BFT)
• Functional test (FCT) is used as a final manufacturing step
providing a pass/fail determination on finished PCBs before they
are shipped
• To validate that product hardware is free of defects that could,
otherwise, adversely affect the product’s correct functioning in a
system application
• Requirements of a functional test, its development, and procedures
vary widely from PCB to PCB and system to system
• The most common form of functional test, known as “hot mock-up”
simply verifies that the PCB is functioning properly
• Generally time taken to undergo functional test is between fifteen
and forty minutes
16
17. Step 2 : Develop Static Model of the
Process Line
• Based on the input data collected, a static model is prepared for
the validation and benchmarking of the simulation model
• Static model is a spreadsheet based model developed using the
mean values of cycle times, utilization time and failure
• Then, the throughput which is the least among all the machines or
processes is identified as the throughput of the whole line
In doing so, these things are should be ignored:
• The inherent interdependence between the processes (induced by
the capacitated buffers).
• The variability (induced by the unpredictable breakdowns and
component part exhaustions)

20. Analysing the variability using DOE
• To understand the behaviour of the system to a next level the factors
(process) that are creating the variables are identified
• For the current model five factors are taken into account they are:
– Solder paste assembly
– Component Placing
– ICT
– BFT and
– Rework
• By taking low level and high level concentration 25 factorial design is
made
• To eliminate the bias randomization is done as shown in the following
table
• In the table below : A- Solder paste assembly process time, Bcomponent Placement process time, C – ICT Processing time, D- BFT
Processing time, E- time taken to repair, I- process time taken for ten

• From the Main effects plots and ANOVA table it is found that BFT
plays a significant role in process. Simulation showed that the
Bottleneck created in this section and there were queue of PCB
that has to wait.
• In order to improve the system it is better to provide a one more
BFT section (parallel).

25. Conclusion
•
•
•
•
•
•
These topics help us to know the problem of simulation modeling and analysis of
PCB assembly lines
This is an important problem as line managers and decision makers of PCB
assembly lines often face situations like designing configuration of entire line for
new product etc, by using simulation concepts and software one can take a
quantitative decisions but it is left to the line managers ability and experience to
take the qualitative decisions
By the help of Simulation one can understand visualise some more things such as
buffer, bottleneck etc.
By using Design of experiments, the factors that are affecting the model flow and
also provide valid information whether to add a new line in the production to
meet the demand or remove the parallel lines if the demands are not so good,
without affecting the actual flow line.
As in this case it clearly stated there is need for adding another line for BFT
section in order to avoid blocking, bottlenecks etc.
Hence with help of quantitative results and qualitative aspects optimal solution for
any kind of problems can be found out
