Is it Necessary to Audit the PCBA Processing Factory ?
It is very necessary for electronic product R&D to audit the PCB assembly factory. A electronic products from the original PCB substrate to the half finished PCB board, which involves many processes and the manufacturing process is complex, high requirements for process control,while the general factory is difficult to do. It is also a necessary process for the PCBA manufacturer to audit the factory.
Electronic products R&D audit the PCBA processing factory, which is mainly including the factory equipment, documents, basic introduction workshop with 7S management system and the company'review.
First/Equipment
The Equipment in a PCBA processing factory is on behalf of a manufacturer's strength in certain circumstances. It needs a lot of equipment machines and more advanced equipment for a PCBA board manufacturing and process, which can represent to process more complex board.You can determine the strength of the PCBA process by reviewing the equipment in the factory.
Second/Documents
The manufacturing process of PCBA processing is complex, so general PCBA processing plants have SOP position, work instructions and other relative documents, which is the guidance on the conduct of employees, to ensure that the manufacturing process is under strictly control, to improve the quality of the products. To review the factory can also determine wheather the factory is professional standardized.
Third/The workshop with 7S management system
7S management system is a management system of modern factories, which can eliminate all kinds of bad imagination during the manufacturing process, to achieve standardized management.

C,to enhance safety awareness education personnel
D,signed letters of responsibility for security
Objective: to predict the danger, so at the end of it begining
7/Save
Reduce the manpower, cost, space, time, inventory, material consumption and so on
Objective: to develop a habit of reducing cost, strengthen the operation personnel to reduce waste awareness education.
Fourth/Company presentation
Finally, it also need to understand the basic introduction of the company, what are the types of customers, whether their own matching products, which are necessary to understand.
Generally, as a formal company, they will audit the PCBA processing factory ,and even year by year. We can fully understand the process capabilities through the auditing the PCBA processing factory.
