Case Study: SMT Renting Health Check – Optimizing Efficiency with Fewer Lines
Challenge:
A manufacturing client was operating with 4 SMT lines and producing 69 batches over two weeks. While this setup supported their production needs, it required a total of 403.7 production hours, spread across running time, changeover time, and NPI time. This translated to 50.5 hours per week per line—a setup that was resource-intensive and lacked efficiency.
Our Solution:
After conducting an SMT Health Check, SMT Renting proposed consolidating the operation to just 2 SMT lines equipped with advanced Juki 2 x RS-1R systems. This new configuration maintained the same batch output but significantly optimized production time:
- Running Time: Reduced from 250.3 hours to 138.2 hours.
- Changeover Time: Dropped from 118.9 hours to just 23.0 hours.
- NPI Time: Cut from 34.5 hours to 8.0 hours.
Results:
- Total production hours decreased from 403.7 hours to 169.2 hours, a 58% improvement in efficiency.
- Equipment usage was reduced by 50%, freeing up resources and capital for other business needs.
- The new configuration required just 42.3 hours per week per line, enhancing overall productivity.
What This Means for You:
With SMT Renting’s Health Check and tailored solutions, you can:
- Maximize efficiency by reducing equipment and labor hours.
- Free up capital for other investments while maintaining output.
- Leverage advanced technology to stay competitive.
Flexibility That Keeps Up With Your Growth: STOP & SWAP
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing landscape, production requirements can change quickly. Whether it’s an unexpected surge in demand or the need to integrate new technologies, staying agile is critical to staying competitive.
That’s where our STOP & SWAP feature comes in. With SMT Renting, you’re not locked into one equipment configuration for the entire rental period. Instead, you have the freedom to:
- Add, upgrade, or replace equipment as your production needs evolve.
- Ensure your production remains flexible and capable of meeting new challenges.
And here’s the best part: the only adjustment you’ll notice when replacing equipment is the update to your monthly fee—based on your contract and the new equipment. No disruptions, no downtime, just a seamless transition to keep your operations running smoothly.
