Designing Universal Fixture
- Analyzed the whole process at the Sanmina manufacturing plant putting information in Gantt and Flow chart.
- Used DMAIC problem-solving approach.
- Designed and developed a universal fixture system to standardize fixture sizes (small, large, and X-large) for all three inspection stages (AOI, AXI, and FPT) reducing the number of required fixtures from 600 or more to just 9, saving costs and storage space.
- Improves process efficiency by eliminating the need to use different fixtures for different products
