Provision of the facilities.
Establishment of statistical process controls (
Establishment of development risk control programs regarding, cost, schedule and technical risk.
Optimization and proof of process capability and process variability.
Establishment of a manufacturing reliability improvement program.
Prevention of design reliability degradation by the manufacturing process.
Establishment of quality plans / manufacturing control programs including.
Manufacturing data system adequate to report defects / yields. Quality engineering, in-process audit inspection and control program. Quality reporting system. QA failure analysis system. Yield control program.
Quality control and assurance during process development: Concepts, techniques, tools employed, including
Design review, process capability analysis. Preproduction trials / runs. FMEA for processes. Review of manufacturing planning (checklist) including process certification, requiring review of: documentation, test / process equipment, manufacturing operations, product quality / yield levels, product performance / qualification testing.
Audit of the quality and manufacturing programs to identify any outstanding issue related to product performance, process variation, manufacturability assessment, and process stability.
Planning of process / product controls: control stations, activities, data collection / feedback, adjustment.
Evaluation of proposed control tools, self-control analysis.
Measurement and test equipment / Quality information equipment (QIE):
Design, construction, procurement of QIE.
Planning for product effectiveness parameters including, reliability, maintainability (e.g. calibration, preventive maintenance), accuracy and precision, operating instructions and training of personnel.
