METHOD TO IMPROVE REQUIREMENTS, DESIGN MANUFACTURING, AND TRANSPORTATION IN MASS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES THROUGH ANALYSIS OF DEFECT DATA

摘要

A computer-implemented method of optimizing at least one of a design, production and testing process in a mass manufacturing process includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product at a plurality of points along its design, production, and distribution chain; classifying the error data into categories of errors to provide classifier error data; analyzing relationships among the classified error data; producing an analysis report; and recommending modifications to an end user for at least one of the design, production, delivery, and testing process based on the analysis report.
