Inplan: Helping Streamline To Plan It Out

Now more than ever, printed circuit board customers require the most elaborate of orders

. Streamline Circuits is all too aware that a quick yet perfectly accurate planning process is an imperative part of the manufacturing of these boards. To ensure this, Streamline Circuit Corp. has recently adopted Frontlines InPlan system. This extremely comprehensive PCB Engineering system combines sophisticated engineering know-how with state-of-the-art pre-production planning tools to design the optimal manufacturing process for PCB jobs in a rapidly changing manufacturing environment.

After the quote is interpreted and printed out into electronic form, planners input all of the data into InPlan and the system output results in a comprehensive flow chart to route traveler. As oppose to competitors planning procedures where data entry was done almost entirely manually via previous orders from that particular customer, InPlan takes on more of the nitty gritty details of each order for future processing needs. Powered by electronic specs and user-defined engineering rules that reflects Streamlines requirements and business logic, as well as those of our customers. These specifications automatically generate the right manufacturing flow, BOM, and tooling instructions standardizing process planning throughout every order ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

InPlan also stores all of Streamlines knowledge and expertise in a central database accessible to all of authorized Streamline personnel. This efficient pooling of resources across departments and manufacturing sites makes perfect logistic and economic sense. InPlan ensures that all job data is consistent and up to date by integrating information from CAM and from this database, or back end system. The data is also completely revision controlled to pair with Streamlines revision controlled environment. Planners can work on the same job concurrently without conflict. Any changes can only be seen by others when the engineer makes them public. The revision control feature lets planners track earlier versions of a job or sections of it.

Streamlines Phil Ramon (Pre-Production Manager) is proud to say that Frontlines InPlan system in the planning process has effectively transformed the company into an engineering power house, capable of delivering top quality work plans at staggering speeds. Thanks to the user defined rules, by literally inputting the customers name, stack up, and part number, a completed traveler will spit out in seconds ready for production.
