The manufacture of electronic products has evolved from wire assembly to SMT (Surface Mount Technology), characterized by component miniaturization and high-speed automation. This dissertation aims to present a systematic roadmap for the efficient implementation of SMT assembly lines during the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly stage. The work covers Design for Manufacturing (DFM), assembly machine programming, and Start Up. An applied methodology is adopted, including theoretical review, equipment analysis, proposal of a best practices checklist, and a case study conducted in a company located in the Manaus Industrial Hub. The results show that proper implementation and balancing of SMT lines can significantly enhance productivity and reduce inefficiencies.
