Kaizen Description

In the feature phone SMT printer, the stencil underside cleaning paper width was reduced from 20 mm to 8 mm after trial verification. The purpose was to minimize paper wastage, reduce downtime due to frequent roll changes, and lower material cost while maintaining the same cleaning performance and print quality.

Before Situation

• Existing cleaning paper width: 20 mm (default OEM setting). • Large portion of paper remained unused during each cleaning cycle. • Paper roll replacement required every 4–5 hours. • High consumption cost and more operator handling time. • No optimization study had been done earlier.

After Situation

• Cleaning paper width optimized to 8 mm after successful cleaning efficiency trial. • Cleaning performance and print quality verified – no change in result. • Paper consumption reduced by approximately 30%. • Replacement frequency reduced by 30%. • Change implemented and standardized across all feature phone printer lines.
