Description: The PTH Component Setup process is part of the “kitting” operation where an operator collects all the component part numbers and respective quantities required to build the specific PCBA or suite of PCBAs. Each component is loaded into a kit box which may or may not be separated by operation. (See also: SMT Component Setup.)
Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA PTH Component Setup
PTH Component Setup Cycle Time is a sum of the time to gather the component from the storage area (pick time), load into a batch box, and return the component to storage at the completion of the job.
Process Time = (( Pick Time + Stock Return Time)*
Qty PTH Part Types)/Batch Size
- Pick Time = (Machine variable)
- Stock Return Time = (Machine variable)
