Hi Earl,
I've experienced the same problem in the past. My solution was to write my
own short training program and deliver it to manufacturing, test and stores.
This gives them the idea that there is a need to handle the components in a
sympathetic way, but the best bit was the follow up.
With the permission of their Management, I gave them conducted tours of the
SMT line and showed them, first hand, what excellent quality we can achieve
when all goes well and, more importantly, what problems we have when things
go wrong; bent legs, mis-orientated components, shortages etc.
I'm a great believer in the idea that nobody comes to work to do a bad job,
they just lack information. If I can give them that information in a
positive way they nearly always respond.
Oh dear! This now sounds like a lecture, sorry, but communications is a
passion with me.
Regards
Eric Dawson
