General Notes
- Work Instruction alteration suggestions must be reviewed and approved by the site Documentation Manager prior to sending an alteration request to Sanmina Corporate.
- This Work Instruction is a basic navigation-training guide and is not meant to teach the process flow for individual department functionality. Individual Sanmina sites may have minor or specific process changes that will be documented at the site level.
- Online Help is available on PTS web.
