SMT manufacturer: What are the roles in the SMT department?

The goal of an SMT department is to ensure that the personnel on the production site meet the operating requirements and achieve high-quality, high-efficiency, low-consumption, balanced, and safe production. So, who are the production site personnel in our SMT department? What are their duties?


The SMT department generally consists of operators, material staff, SMT production technicians, MT equipment engineers, SMT stretchers and SMT production supervisors. Next, we will list the job responsibilities of our production site personnel one by one.


SMT operator:

Responsible for completing the tasks in accordance with the work tasks assigned by the production management personnel in accordance with the work instructions and job responsibilities with quality and quantity.

SMT Material Clerk:

1 Responsible for SMT production material requisition, inventory, ledger registration, replenishment, inventory, statistics of weekly loss, and tracking of material arrival by the material control department.

2 Responsible for the preparation of the material supply of the transfer order at the production site and the follow-up work of the product quantity and material clearance at the time of the statement.

3 Responsible for the handling of the product mantissa and the issuance of the product.

4 Responsible for inventory and purchase of production accessories.
