Implementation Of Methodologies In The Automatic Insertion Of Components For Optimization In The SMT Process: Applying The DMAIC Method

Abstract

The automatic insertion of SMT components is a process used in the electronics industry that faces challenges related to the disorganization of assembly machines, resulting in low productivity, disorganized feeders, and delays in model change preparation. This study aims to implement lean production principles to improve the assembly process and identify the root causes of existing problems. Lean production tools and methodologies were applied to analyze and improve the automatic insertion process of SMT components. The results showed significant improvements, with greater organization, increased productivity, and reduced preparation times for model changes.
