Quality Management for Electronics and Circuit Board Assembly

Electronics and circuit board assembly is expanding in African manufacturing, where tiny defects such as poor solder joints or misplaced components cause costly field failures. This course builds quality control for assembly processes, covering solder quality, component handling, inspection criteria and electrostatic discharge control. Participants learn to catch defects early and hold quality across delicate assembly operations.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain quality risks specific to electronics assembly.
  • Apply electrostatic discharge controls to protect components.
  • Assess solder joint quality against acceptance criteria.
  • Control component handling, placement and traceability.
  • Use visual and functional inspection at the right points.
  • Investigate assembly defects and prevent recurrence.
