The year of 2020 is a year when human beings all over the world strive to compete with the COVID-19. Affected by the COVID-19, the global economic growth rate slows down, and many industries have to slow down the pace of progress. Because PSICN has been focusing on a business status who it is Guardian of Low to Middle volume and High mix production, we are less affected by the epidemic. Some of our customers are involved in indoor learning, and the product business of indoor health campaign is developing rapidly. In order to keep up with the customers and reach the delivery date, PSICN has carried out an effective capacity improvement plan. Here we report a series of achievements we have achieved in improving DIP (Double In-line Package) capacity.

1. The DIP production line was expanded from 12 hours for one shift to 13 hours for two lines.

The original DIP production capacity is one shift one line system, which can output products for 12 hours a day, ranging from 3K to 10K according to the degree of difficulty (we call it difficult if the number of plug-ins is more than 30, and it is called easy if the number of plug-ins is less than 10). At present, two wave peak furnaces are used, one shift, two lines, 13 hours. According to the degree of difficulty, the daily output can reach 4k-20k or more.

2. In response to the needs of line expansion, the Staff number of DIP increased from 26 employees to 40 employees

The biggest problem after the newcomers join the assembly line is the contradiction between high quality requirements and unskilled personnel. If the training is not in place, it is easy to produce abnormal quality and delivery time. In order to achieve customer expectations, we talk about theory in the morning meeting, learn SOP, talk about methods of reduce the labor intensity of personnel before production, emphasize good communication methods, increase mutual trust and responsibility among personnel, give play to the advantage of team cohesion, and distribute work fairly and reasonably among members, so as to improve the production efficiency of employees. When the number of dip increased from 26 to 40, our production capacity doubled, which effectively supported the continuous and large shipment demand of customers.

3. Increase the investment of fixtures and tools to achieve the best state of "one person, one fixture, full fixture in the Wave Machine Coveyor", and improve the man hour waste of fixtures. Fixture and tool investment is the premise of ensuring quality and efficiency. According to the production capacity requirements of a single machine, we calculate the appropriate fixture and tool. We insist to make the equal width fixture, increasing adjustable fixture and so on, so that more models can be produced at the same time.

4. Improve the efficiency of components insert by manual.

We try to modification the PCB Layout and try to review the design of PCB hole, in order to let the match the requirement for components leads insert by manual. If we can achieve the goal in a simple way, we never choose the complex methods, in this way to reduce repetitive actions. Multi skill labors stand by DIP insertion Line and responsible for cut of PCBA boards, putting PCBA into the fixture in advance, and substituting jobs, so that the production line is full at any time, achieving the workload of every hour, so as to improve the efficiency of plug-in program.

5. Make prenatal preparation and improve the time of machine replacement.

According to the production schedule, collect materials in advance, prepare tools and other production materials, check SOP, process materials in advance, arrange procedures and check materials outside the line, and complete the first five samples. Personnel only need to pick up materials in order to achieve the purpose of rapid line change.

6. Do a good job in quality control and improve the processing Lead Time of each Working order.

The management personnel shall check and implement the abnormal production records, quality abnormal records and production precautions through the PSICN’s MIS system in advance. Using the BOM list in MIS system to quickly find the material shortage and complete the working order.
