Assessing the value of a lead-free solder control plan using cost-based FMEA
For many systems, qualification is expensive and the consequences of failure can be catastrophic. Carefully engineered control plans are needed when technology or process changes are required. Control plans are activities that may be performed to ensure product performance. Used cost-based FMEA to determine the projected cost of failure consequence for a control plan. We included a case study of the lead-free implementation of a power supply.
