BACKGROUND

 

The WEEE and RoHS directives are being imposed worldwide and they are aimed at: 

reducing electrical waste, increasing recovery and recycling, and minimizing environmental impacts due to electrical equipment, and

eliminating certain uses of targeted (banned) substances in products put on the market.

These directives will significantly affect the responsibilities and roles of  wireless industry suppliers and manufacturers and their interactions.

 

At  the previous IWPC Workshop, "Next Generation “Ecological” Handset Design & Manufacturing", focused on the Handset industry, the issue of the impact of these directives on the handset industry and steps which are being taken to address them were discussed.

 

Varying degrees of exemptions to the directives exist and do not apply uniformly to all sectors of the wireless industry.

 

This Workshop has been organized to address the issues which will effect the entire wireless industry, as the industry transitions from pre Directive to post Directive requirements.

 

WORKSHOP GOALS

 

The goals of this Workshop are:

To better understand the RoHS and WEEE directives and their impact on the wireless equipment design and manufacturing, from the point of view of Celestica, Lucent, RIM and other industry leaders.

To better understand the role of EMS's in implementing these directives.

To assist the industry in preparing for future product design and manufacturing in terms of materials and component specifications.

To assist the industry in understanding the impact of merging in lead free qualified components with leaded components -- this implies a MASSIVE set of engineering change order logistics to manage the "cut-in" and management of new with old components

To share state of the art lead free solder processes and the effect these processes have on materials, logistics, design and manufacturing.

For suppliers to better understand their roles and responsibilities in meeting the requirements of the directives and the EMSs.

To learn who the major players are who will be charged with recovery and recycling of wireless industry equipment and materials.

For suppliers to better understand the expectations of Celestica's procurement offices in implementing these directives.

Each person will be asked to introduce him/herself and share how they can contribute to this process

9:00 AM

KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS

  • Celestica will provide an overview of the WEEE and RoHS Directives and how environmental regulations are being applied to 3 major equipment design and manufacturing sectors:

    • wireless infrastructure (base stations),

    • handsets and 

    • short range radio equipment manufacturing (WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.)

  • How is Celestica handling the differences in these different industry sectors, in terms of materials reporting documentation, exemptions and timing of various banned materials, against the design cycle differences between handsets, infrastructure and short range radio products?

  • What processes have been developed for lead free solders and how what else do those processes effect?

    • products requiring short term vs long term design cycles

    • mixed component selection (the impact of mixing components which are designed for lead free with components designed for lead solders)

    • repair/rework (how are the components marked?)

    • board material selection including board finishes

    • solder reflow technology implications for:

      • wave soldering

      • IR soldering

      • vapor phase soldering

  • What IT systems exist and/or need development?

    • how will the relationships between suppliers and customers will be managed?

  • Who is responsible for component and materials selections?

    • OEMs

    • ODMs 

    • EMSs

Set Up Break Out Sessions Working Groups

 

The group will interactively discuss and identify opportunities for future fruitful development.

We will break into small working groups and allow members to interact with like and not-so-like minded professionals.

12:45 PM

Breakout Sessions

 

Questions to be answered:

 

1.  What are the gaps in:

Technology ?

Communication ?

 

2.  What is needed from the supply chain to address these gaps ?

 

3.  What can IWPC do to assist ?

 

 

The goal of this process is to clarify the needs and identify new opportunities for development.

Each working group will identify a leader and at the end, the leader will make a short presentation on the findings and conclusions of their group. 

4:30 PM

Breakout Session Reports

Each Working Group Leader will make a 10 minute presentation to summarize the Wish List Items and Conclusions of his/her working group. 

 

Group will come together and have an interactive discussion to exchange and challenge ideas presented by working group leaders.

 

This process dramatically expands the thinking of the attendees.
