Build Preparation ================= * Verify stencil (thickness, apertures) * Solder paste type (e.g., SAC305 lead‑free), shelf life/conditioning * Line setup: feeders to positions; cross‑check MPN ↔ BOM/CPL (four‑eyes principle) * First article run (1–5 boards) to optimize paste/placement/reflow profile (record & archive) * Enable labeling (SN/QR) and traceability
