A thin section of material, often square or rectangular that contains a set of manufactured pieces (see Material)
When you create panel records in Material Maintenance, the system assigns a location to each piece on the panel (see Creating Panel Records). In the POD, operators can nonconform specific locations on a panel. For example, if a circuit board at location 3 on a panel fails a test, the operator can nonconform the piece at location 3.
Pieces on panels include the following:
Circuit boards on a panel
Molded pieces
CPUs or other ICs on a wafer
