Follow the board through the process.

01
Prepare
Align board revision, placement data, material identities and the agreed process requirements.
02
Place
Coordinate component presentation and board-level placement against the released files.
03
Join
Review joining requirements against the board, components and project acceptance criteria.
04
Inspect
Use the agreed checkpoints to review visible features and assign any further verification.

MATERIAL READINESS

Placement begins before the board reaches the machine.

Component packaging and identification are part of the manufacturing input. Confirm customer-supplied material requirements before shipment.

Review component sourcing

Presentation: Identify packaging formats and quantities so material preparation can be discussed.
Handling needs: Share storage, handling and other component-specific requirements with the review package.
Revision alignment: Match material identifiers to the released BOM, including population options and approved substitutions.

Make inspection part of the process plan.

The inspection plan should identify the feature, acceptance reference and action to take when a question is raised.

Confirm the design revision used for setup and review.
Define how an observation becomes a review action.
Identify hidden features or functional questions that need additional checks.

Plan inspection coverage

Bring the board files and the open questions.

Include the BOM, placement data, assembly drawing, build quantity and intended verification scope.
