Why Traditional QC Is Obsolete – and What to Do Instead

Lean methodologies, Six Sigma, Statistical Process Control and other techniques can help high-tech manufacturers identify areas to improve yield. But only artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics help manufacturers find additional, incremental opportunities for yield improvement.

High-Tech Manufacturing Case Study

A leading global electronics manufacturer needed to increase yield and improve processes without completely revamping long-standing manufacturing practices.

Solution

Focus on improving production and quality by quickly and easily integrating data that straddles different processes.

Results

Judging ROI on analytics isn’t easy, but the company’s senior manager of manufacturing acknowledges that even modest gains lead to substantial benefits. He estimates that just a 1% yield gain results in a SAVINGS OF $50 MILLION.
