Hourly workers can bring immense value to the company if they are given the intellectual tools to excel. But operators seldom get the information they require. So, they are unable to achieve their potential — and the company loses.
Operators need education and clear reliability guidelines. Instead they get training that develops their hands but not their minds. The training essentially tells them to memorize fuzzy rules and not ask questions. It also conditions them to rework reliable solder connections that they damage by overheating because the training was designed for soldering wires to vacuum tube sockets.
There is a much better way — EMS Science of Soldering: The Recipe©. For almost 30 years, we have been teaching operators and inspectors around the world about the physics, chemistry and metallurgy that determine the results of soldering. Now your own personnel can teach the same course in your own plant using our DVD, workbook, exercises and teacher’s guide for a fraction of the cost.
The Same Fundamental Lessons
Taught to Engineers
The lessons of The Recipe are the same fundamentals we teach engineers except the language is simpler. Students learn that soldering is like baking a cake — just follow our 7–step soldering recipe presented by videos, experiments, demonstrations and troubleshooting a unique hand soldering exercise. That exercise contains all the materials and application problems responsible for the soldering defects they see every day in their work and is probably the most challenging soldering problem ever created.
Remarkably thorough and remarkably quick
Every hour your operator is in class is an hour the operator is not generating profits. EMS Science of Soldering: The Recipe is the world's most efficient as well as most thorough soldering course. In less than three days, students gain expertise in wetting forces, intermetallic bonds, oxides, contaminants, solderability management, prevention of heat damage in hand soldering and much more. They learn how to use a soldering iron safely (the technique in every training course was developed for attaching wires to vacuum tube sockets and damages modern components). They discover that much of what they call “soldering” is actually a type of welding and real soldering requires an additional process step. Just as important, they learn problem solving techniques, teamwork and the importance of questioning everything.
EMS Science of Soldering: The Recipe© will reduce your failure rates, stop touchup, eliminate confusion about reliability, produce more accurate data recording, and create effective feedback from operators to process engineers. There is no need for retraining and you will get more output with less labor. New hires can be brought up to speed in a fraction of the normal time.
For even better results, combine EMS Science of Soldering: The Recipe with EMS Reliability Criteria.
There is nothing remotely like The Recipe available from any other source.
