Abstract :
DOE is a method for improving technological processes after it is proved that they are under control. What is most important about this method is that it requires minimum resources at a moderate risk level. The report describes the application of this method to reduce the defects during automatic soldering of electronic components on a printed circuit board by the "wave soldering" process. The input of the process is being influenced only. A mathematical model, based on matrix calculations, is being used in the report.
