TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for manipulating a reference designator listing displayed in association with an ordered content list, where the user touch the touchscreen proximate the location at which at least one reference designators is displayed, and the electronic device may not only jump to the portion of the content list corresponding to the reference label assumed to have been selected, but also zoom the listing so that the assumed selected label, and one or more surrounding label, are larger and can be more easily selected.
Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for manipulating a reference designator listing displayed in association with an ordered content list. When the user touches the touchscreen proximate the location at which at least one reference designator is displayed, the electronic device may not only jump to the portion of the content list corresponding to the reference designator assumed to have been selected, but also zoom the reference designator listing so that the assumed selected reference designator, and one or more surrounding reference designators, are larger and can be more easily selected. In addition, by touching the touchscreen at a location at which the magnified reference designator listing is displayed and moving his or her finger, or other selection device, in some direction within the reference designator listing, the user may scroll the reference designator listing, so that a different set of magnified reference designators is displayed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present requirements for a middle layer software tool to support collaborative manufacturing, extend shop floor visibility, monitor product yield and defects, and improve unit level traceability.
Abstract: Numerous software applications that serve as effective tools in solving localized issues for an electronics manufacturing service (EMS) provider are currently available. However, there are very few products available in the market for an EMS provider that offer an integrated solution to issues ranging from the production floor to supplier quality. Applications with features including that of manufacturing execution systems (MES) and shop floor control systems would be examples of middle layer systems. This paper discusses the requirement specifications developed for a middle layer software tool to support collaborative manufacturing, extend shop floor visibility, monitor product yield and defects, and improve unit level traceability. Also, the software tool would assist in increasing operational efficiency by reducing paperwork of shop floor personnel, helping to locate reference designators and finding part numbers, and reducing debug time. The application interfaces with SMT, tests and inspection equipment for effective product and process monitoring. This paper also discusses the issues that are of concern to quality department personnel and customers such as the non-conformance materials report (NCMR) and tracking of corrective action requests associated with them and providing root cause analysis capability for NCMRs. The requirement specifications detailed here were developed to meet the needs of both high and low volume facilities involved in PCB assembly and subsequent box-build activities. This paper delineates the functionality required in an integrated system at an EMS provider for it to be an effective tool for manufacturing, improving quality and integrating data from facilities worldwide.
