This workshop focuses on assessing and improving process capability in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing using systematic methods and tools such as Minitab and Excel. Participants will learn to implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts, conduct process capability analysis, and utilize various quality tools like Pareto analysis and cause-effect diagrams. The training emphasizes understanding the costs of quality, productivity, and profitability while demonstrating the importance of controlling variation and avoiding over-adjustment in processes. Teams will engage in hands-on exercises to produce PCBs and implement process improvements based on collected data.

Take-Aways • Learn and apply systematic approach for assessing and improving process capability using such tools (Minitab and Excel) as: • Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts for variable and attribute data • Process capability analysis • Process mapping, cause-effect diagramming, Pareto analysis • Understand and determine impact of bias and variation on the cost of quality, productivity, and profitability. • Observe and understand the dangers of over-adjustment (‘Hero’ mentality) and stratification with respect to its impact on process variation. • Demonstrate the relationship between quality and productivity, cost of quality, and profitability; namely if quality increases, then productivity increases, cost of quality decreases, and profitability increases. • Learn to perform measurement analysis and capability
Team Exercise • Manufacture of Printed Circuit Boards (Variable Data) • Teams will run a manufacturing process to produce PCBs. • Based on data collected, get system in statistical control, and then assess process capability. • Look for sources of variation to be eliminated. • Recommend, validate, and implement improvements.
