- Continuous Improvement Program
- Quality at the source initiative
- 5S system
- Provide yield/quality reports
- Plant layout material flow
- Eliminate non-value added waste
- Visual workplace
Process Controls
In order to sustain quality, INFRAPOWER utilizes multiple process controls. These controls assure that a quality product is being produced at all stages of the production cycle.
- In-process data collection system
- Weekly quality review meetings with use of SPC carts and defect data
- Receiving inspection – verify incoming product meets customer and/or manufacturer specifications
- ESD controls, internal and external audits
- Final electrical test (HIPOT/etc.) to verify components and/or assembly function as designed
- Internal and external corrective and preventative action system
- Non-conforming material review (MRB)
Pre-production Quality and Process Controls
- New Product Introduction (NPI)/Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review process
- PCB penalization optimization for process quality results
- Custom tooling for selective wave
- Quality assurance strategy by standard and automated inspection and test
- Manufacturing readiness review
