A seminar – 'Design for cost effective assembly' - and workshop – 'Hand soldering/rework, BGA/QFP rework and reflow oven profiling' - presented by European industry experts, aimed at those involved in product design, assembly, reworking and servicing.
The industry experts invited from Europe by SMART Group SA to present this seminar and workshop have presented this information several times, they really know their stuff and can cope with tough questions.
According to industry expert Bob Willis: “If your competitor attends and you miss out, he will have an edge. But much more importantly, your overseas competitors already know this stuff!”
Design for cost effective assembly seminar
Monday 29 October 2007, The Protea Hotel, Stellenbosch
Wednesday 31 October 2007, The Protea Hotel, Midrand
Whether producing their own products or subcontracting their assembly, designers need to consider design for manufacture (DFM) and the value of effective new product introduction (NPI) guidelines. Design review at the layout stage can save money and produce a better, lower cost product. Whether manufacturing ten or a million units, the rules and guidelines are the same.
Now with the WEE Directive and the environment on everyone’s agenda, what should an environmentally friendly product look like? What does a design engineer need to consider? DFM and design for the environment (DFE) are not mutually exclusive.
Design engineers, NPI engineers, process engineers, all levels of management and anyone who interfaces between design and manufacture or with customers or suppliers will benefit from attending this seminar.

Anybody involved in any way in production, reworking or servicing needs to consider the practical aspects of their process. This workshop provides practical hands-on experience of various soldering processes, as well as the implications of doing it wrong. The short and long term effects of an incorrect process have been well documented, and with the continued quest for reliability, first time pass rate, and quality of product, this is a not-to-be-missed hands-on practical workshop given by experts who know what it takes to succeed in the world arena.
Production engineers, NPI engineers, process engineers, quality engineers, supervisors and service staff at all levels will benefit from attending this workshop.
Places are strictly limited to ensure workshop quality
