In the realm of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), the efficiency of a production line is often gauged by the metric known as Components Per Hour (CPH). At first glance, calculating CPH appears straightforward: divide the number of components placed by the time in hours. However, this simplistic approach belies the intricate factors that significantly influence the actual performance of an SMT line.
