Initiation Phase
Project Goals and Objectives:
- Ensure Reliability and Quality to the connections of the Components on
the PCBs
- Optimizing Time efficiency of soldering Components to each board
- Meet or exceed quality standards
Feasibility Analysis
- Automation Increases time efficiency but it has high maintenance costs.
- This can be offset by reducing needed workers and thus freeing up some
financial strains
- As machine reliability is not always perfect, Quality Control is needed to
ensure quality consistency and report any problems along the production
line.
Stakeholders
- PCB Manufacturers
- Electronics Manufacturers
- Consumers
Project Charter
- Description
To introduce Automation on soldering Components to PCBs to ensure
quality and reliability consistency.
- Scope
Automatic Soldering Machines will be introduced to ensure quality and
reliability of the connections on the PCBs. To further reduce the defect rate,
Quality Control is also introduced.

Planning phase
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
1.) Look for Soldering Machine Manufacturers
2.) Order and receive the machines
3.) Test for functionality
4.) Start Soldering as soon as the first machines are done testing
5.) Package and deliver processed PCBs
