Purpose:
All information presented in this conference is focused in Solving Process
Problems that we have day to day in Flextronics. Using Six Max
Methodologies for existing processes (DMAIC).
Scope:
Based on Laser Soldering Process for SMT connectors that can not be
processed in Reflow Oven because of the plastic properties, they can not
support high temperatures beyond 150C. Also, the q uantity of connector pins
(200, 300, 400) does not guarantee an acceptable quality soldering by hand.
This project was developed on Flextronics Campus South in Building Five.
Team Members for this project:
Ricardo Prez, Javier Cervantes, Efrain Amaral, Eduardo Camarena,
Guillermo Barajas, Roberto Reyes, Ruben Lpez, Arturo Nues, Leopoldo
Zuiga, Machine Supplier, Customer.

How many connector families will be involved?, What are the projected business
benefits of this project?, What happen if we dont do anything?
We studied two families
of connectors, each one
has 50 models, then in
total they are around 100
models that have to be
under control in laser
soldering process.

A preliminary Gage R&R study was done to identify quickly all the
improvements to guarantee the acceptable inspection criteria.
Known Population
In this case 10 pieces were utilized of model A and only the top
sides were inspected. Current microscope which is available in
line was used.
3 differents oprs in
differents shifts were
taken for this study.
