Abstract

Reports a case study in using a team approach to improve the quality, cycle time and yield of integrated circuits assembled in Hong Kong. Ford's eight-disciplines (8-D) process is the methodology used, and significant improvements are acheived with it. Within the framework of the 8-D process, the work involves using simple quality tools to analyse and correct production problems. Demonstrates that a tightly-focused approach, which follows well-documented and methodical procedures using simple tools and techniques, can bring considerable benefits within a short time. © MCB UP Ltd.
