The implementation of a six sigma program in an organization necessitates several major activities: understanding the design quality of new products as measured by six sigma, knowing the capability of...

In current products, most of the process and product improvements should be concentrated on specific high-defects problems. A Pareto chart should be made of the top ten problems, and projects such as...

The arrays most commonly used in the design of experiments are the orthogonal arrays. These arrays are balanced: there are an equal number of levels for each factor in the experiments. The behavior of...

The objectives of DoE are to adjust the quality characteristics (or design or process output) to the optimum performance by properly choosing the best combination of factors and levels, as shown in Fi...

Design of experiments (DoE) is a systematic method for determining the effect of factors and their possible interactions in a design or a process toward achieving a particular output of the quality ch...

Accurate estimation of new product cost and quality is becoming very important for electronic enterprises. A good understanding of how cost and quality affect major decisions in material and process s...

The test and repair cost driver in Table 6.7 is a historical estimate in the technology-based cost model, and is based on previous or similar products FTY yields. In the quality-based cost model, test...

The quality of current products and manufacturing processes is dependent on their history and original design parameters....
