Product architecture and production system design will be linked through the decisions in process sequencing and machine selection. The enhanced production performance model will serve as an evaluation tool for the concurrent design tasks. The concept is illustrated in the figure below. Ultimately, this research seeks to establish a direct link between product architecture and supply-chain design, then derive a set of design rules and quantitative tools for rapid product development and system deployment. Quality control strategy for complex assembly .
Current techniques rely on the assumption of known quality-loss function.
However, such function might be unavailable or unrealistic in practice. This research will apply the integrated production performance model to assess the quality related cost directly, so that the quality control decision can be made based on actual production performance. Yield management for MEMS and optoelectronic manufacturing . MEMS and optoelectronic manufacturing, especially in packaging process, is highly yield-sensitive due to its complex and costly process. Yield loss have been recognized as the major cost driver for the manufacturers.
