Knowledge management seems to be an issue in many companies, with the new 
crop of engineers having to re-learn the lessons of old over and over. 

Back when EMPF was in Indianapolis, they used to offer a two week "boot 
camp" on the fundamentals of manufacturing.  I wrote the module for the 
cleanliness and residues part and got to occasionally be a guest "drill 
instructor".  I don't know if ACI still offers that course.  Guy?

What Bill suggests is being addressed to some extent.  IPC is working on a 
handbook (820) which is essentially "The Manufacturing Bible", pulling 
together as much instructional material as possible to support J-STD-001, 
A-610 and other documents.  That effort is being led by Bryan James, 
Rockwell, and Sharon Ventress, Army Missle Command.  I have been working 
on the cleaning sections together with Bev Christian and Graham Naisbitt, 
among others, and I think it goes a long way towards educating people on 
critical points.

Now, if we just had time to read the darn thing.

Re: [TN] Flux residue, burnt flux






Doug highlights a very key problem in our industry-- the fundamental lack 
of 
chemistry education in the typical curriculum of any electronics person in 
 
design or on the production line. Thus it is often easy for such folks to 
have 
problems with incompatible materials and residues during production. 
Like it or not, most of the chemists in the industry are found in the labs 
 
and tech service groups of the suppliers, with the materials lab folks 
after 
that. 
 
Should IPC publish a preferred or minimum training curriculum for people 
considering entering the design or production phases of the industry? I 
think we 
should- it could certainly reduce chemical waste and disposal costs for 
the 
industry in these times of huge pressures on our manufacturing cost 
structure. 
 Perhaps others would like to consider/debate this point, resulting in 
some 
ideas  to put before TAEC.
