ABSTRACTS
The following are the summary for the SMTA sessions:

Morning Session: 08:30 AM - 11:30 AM

1. Design for Manufacturing a Global Manufacturing Solution by Frank Henry
and Cynthia Sutherland, DSC Communications.

Organizations that embrace strategies of DFM reap the benefits of cost, cycle
time and improved product quality. However, standard methods of implementing
DFM are complicated.  Gaining the confidence of the design community  and
executing to project needs is an important aspect. Establishing tools  and
strategies to enhance  information flow and training are also key to the
success of the program. This presentation will discuss the various tools and
strategies  required for a global manufacturing solution.

2. Lease  vs Purchase Analysis by Al Hosack, Copelco

This presentation is aimed at  determining in which cases leasing will be most
efficient method of acquiring your electronic manufacturing equipment. Topics
will be discussed in simple laymen terms and include: When leasing makes
economic sense, what types of lease programs are offered in the market,
understanding the finance terms like return-on-equity, residual value,
operating lease, capital lease  etc.

3.  Successful Outsourcing - panel discussion by Tom Moe, Second
Source

This discussion is for anyone exploring the outsourcing of assembly  as
well as small contractors who work with customers to develop board level
specifications. Successful outsourcing requires significant planning, as
well as communication of appropriate OEM resources to obtain high yield
at minimum costs. By implementing a few simple checks and
specifications, both small and large companies can compete very
successfully. The session will be a primer, using a basic checklist
approach enabling your company to enter the outsourcing frenzy without
succumbing to the pitfalls of being dependent upon your vendor to, make
your decisions, which is often the ticket for mediocre results.

4. Managing Moisture Sensitive SMT Components - Rene Totten, Alcatel Network
Systems

Many plastic components may be damaged by entrapped moisture during reflow
process. Prevention of moisture-related component damage will involve design,
purchasing, stocking, and assembly operations. this presentation will  discuss
the nature of moisture sensitivity, and recommended procedures to be used
throughout the organization

Afternoon Session: 01:30 PM - 05:00 PM

5.  An Awareness of ESD, Dean Crews, Raytheon Systems Co.,

This paper is designed to review and emphasize the basics of electrostatic
discharge. With reference from EIA-625 we will explore ESD packaging and
handling requirements. How training enhances the correct attitude for handling
and protecting ESDS parts and assemblies will be discussed. We will be using
real life scenarios to discuss what role ESD audit performs for the
manufacturing area.

6.  Design for Ergonomics,  Rick Cruise and Roger Frazier, Raytheon Learning
Institute

In this paper will be presented  the important factors why ergonomic design
principles should  be included early in the concept development cycle and
continue ergonomic evaluations of the design in the prototyping cycle. The
benefits that will be noted during the manufacture and assembly  will be
discussed.

7.  SPC in the SMT Environment, Robert Davis

Controlling SMT, Wave Solder, Auto/Hand insert, and hardware placement can be
controlled by numerous methods. We will discuss methods  appropriate for these
applications: x-bar charts, DOE, work instructions, FMEA, or traditional Lean
Thinking techniques. Application of these various techniques and the benefits
derived with respect to time and employee acceptance will be discussed.
Included in the presentation will be suggestions for functional
responsibilities in these applications.

8. Ball Grid Array Rework and Repair - Martin Roberts,  PAC

Rework and repair is an integral part of circuit card assembly. This paper
addresses the BGA package removal and installation methodologies with emphasis
on PWB and package, site preparation, and potential problems associated with
the rework and repair processes.
