Defect Resolution in Manufacturing: Using Specific Tools to Prevent Defects and Enhance Product Quality

No matter what industry you’re in -- at the end of the day, it’s all about quality and yields. In the interest of productivity, we often allow yields to suffer. As products and technologies become ever more complex, it is no longer acceptable to simply consider quality as a target value. Why? Because that target evolves to become ever more elusive if you approach quality in terms of target value. You must strive for ever tighter process windows. And this can only be accomplished by learning and applying essential tools available to solve complex issues and provide defect minimization in a timely fashion.

John Mike Carano, RBP Chemical Technolgy, for a webinar hosted by IPC’s Thought Leaders Program, “Defect Resolution in Manufacturing,” for an interactive discussion.  Some of the key tools we will discuss include:

• process maps
• qualify function deployment (QFD)
• statistical process control (SPC) and
• critical thinking required to understand the inter-relationships of the various process steps involved in bringing a finished product to the end customer.

We must understand the process so that we can monitor, control, and understand all variables that can affect the output of the finished products.

In general terms, the focus will be on continuous improvement -- always striving to produce final product with minimal variation and highest possible yields. By using these select tools, you will learn how to continually improve systems and processes.

Who Should Attend This Webinar?

Engineers, R&D personnel, quality control professionals and managers involved in the manufacturing of high-end and mission-critical technologies

Real-life examples will be presented to supplement the presentation.
