Our logic is, if an operator mis-read a part number while loading a reel of
components then the chances are that it would happen again during
verification.  Having a different set of eyes look at the same label should
hopefully catch the error.

At least that is our theory.

Subject: [TN] First Article Buy-off Process for SMT & Wave Solder


Hi Technetters,

I would to share some experience with you all.

I  have been working for 5 companies. I realize that every
company that I worked for, has a buy-off system; so called
the first article buy-off before releasing the either a SMT or
wave soldering line for mass production.

I am rather curious why the people who are managing the
lines cannot perform their own self check, but rather
depends upon someone to check their work and to ensure
they loaded the right to the machine or to the boards.

I would like to hear your opinion about this system as I find it
rather stupid and it is wasting time.

Poh
