Global Automotive Component Manufacturer Uses PMA to Speed Up Root Cause Analysis

Global Automotive Component Manufacturer Uses PMA to Speed Up Root Cause Analysis

With the concurrent outbreak of the pandemic and chip shortage, time to market is extremely crucial in fulfilling the market demand. This accelerates the demand and adoption for all kinds of IOT devices and analytical tools that can help with manufacturing health monitoring and maintaining high FPY (First Pass Yield). Nevertheless, there’s still a lot of opportunities to improve, especially in the functional test process. Root causing functional test failures can be difficult and complex. In this case study we will elaborate on how PMA enabled near real-time RCA of the equipment fixture issues on the production floor that caused a low yield scenario.

Moving from Static Limits to Dynamic Part Average Test (PAT) Limits

Moving from Static Limits to Dynamic Part Average Test (PAT) Limits

The current chip shortage in 2021 is expected to continue to put a strain on semiconductor and IC manufacturers despite them investing more in capital expenditure to increase manufacturing capacity, and which may, in the best case, take a few years to stabilize. There has already been challenges meeting customer demands and deliveries and those delays have caused further problems downstream with at least one car manufacturer temporarily shutting down car production lines due to part shortages. The challenge now is to deliver more components with the existing fully utilized equipment until that new capacity comes online. The successful and fast deployment of PathWave Manufacturing Analytics into production had helped them improve not only their overall equipment efficiencies, with a higher overall throughput, but also maintained the quality of the device test process and further reduce the extremely costly scrap due to false failures and retest. Using the PathWave Manufacturing Analytics solution was a transparent change to the production process that lead to tangibly significant business outcomes, such as cost savings and a lower cost of poor quality.

Effective Production Debugging with Actionable Insights

Effective Production Debugging with Actionable Insights

As the electronic manufacturing industry embraces digital transformation towards being a Smart factory, the abundance of test and measurement data generated from the production floor is a valuable source for advanced analytics to provide actionable insights that improve productivity and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Being an engineer supporting manufacturing production myself, I fully understand the pressure and challenge one can face during New Product Introduction (NPI) stage and Mass Production Run (MR) stage. An engineer these days have limited time and resources (like allocation of equipment and number of boards) to complete the test debug to release to mass production. Thereafter, to support production mode and sustain the high level of First Pass Yield (FPY) and product quality.

PMA Anomaly Detection Model: More Than Just off-the-Shelf ML Algorithms

PMA Anomaly Detection Model: More Than Just off-the-Shelf ML Algorithms

Smart Factory big data analytics platform collected massive amounts of test and measurement data to product actionable insights. One of these insights would be test and measurement anomalies that may be a prediction of deteriorating product quality that may be due to parts, process or people. And the industry may be oblivious to the serious challenges from ‘alert fatigue’. In this paper, we will highlight the desired outcome and performance of our proprietary anomaly detection algorithm and alert scoring machine learning model that automatically rates, categorizes and filters the anomaly alerts by severity of a potential quality incidence.

Identify Potential Golden Units using Part Average Testing and Process Capability Index Technique

Identify Potential Golden Units using Part Average Testing and Process Capability Index Technique

In manufacturing, it was very common to use a golden unit as a reference unit for test development and debug. Multiple aspects such as product requirement, specification, functionality, choice of component and material are important to be considered in order to ensure all the golden unit is as close as it gets to the perfect unit. As an example, a new functional test script may need to be validated, and the golden unit will be used to make sure the new test is working as it should.

Studying the Correlation Between Anomalies

Studying the Correlation Between Anomalies

Keysight’s PathWave Manufacturing Analytics (PMA) is an Analytics-As-A-Service (AaaS) big data, real-time advanced analytics platform. It is an established and proven solution that uniquely combines measurement science domain knowledge and data science. It has the capability to monitor the production process and detect the anomalies produced. However, the anomalies found by PMA across different tests are not linked hence we are unable to establish a connection between tests. The anomalies then can only be flagged as separate warnings, and clients can only investigate them one at a time. There is no collective analysis done to the anomalies. It is possible to manually locate similar anomalous patterns across hundreds of tests but it would require too much manpower. Thus, this has given rise to the need to quantitatively measure the correlation between anomalous patterns and group them together for further study.
