Publisher's Synopsis
In this book, the authors present and explain statistical process control (SPC) - applying statistical principles to control or monitor a production process - in the electronics and semiconductor industries. The book demonstrates how to improve total quality and develops a systematic approach to continuous process improvement through process capability studies, on-line and off-line design of experiments and SPC. Taking a practical approach, it includes case studies, examples and prescriptions for implementing a process control programme by manufacturers and suppliers. The material is based on the experiences of Western;Electric, IBM, General Motors, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) and other companies that have achieved success using these methods.
