Designing for Small Volume Assembly of Advanced Electronics Packages

We describe a general methodology to Design for Producibility and Reliability (DFPAR) for very small volume production runs. In cases where the entire volume for fabrication is less than five products, traditional Statistical Process Control (SPC) is inadequate due to reliance on statistics of much larger volumes and the Central Limit Theorem. Data acquisition for process parameter estimation from such a small sample size is difficult; however, it is critical to producing high reliability product.

(abstract) Designing for Small Volume Assembly of Advanced Electronics Packages

There is a need for high reliability surface mount assembly processes for aerospace, military, and medical applications. This approach for improving design for producibility and reliability of electronic system assembly processes can be utilized as a starting framework. Described herein is a general methodology to Design for Producibility and Reliability (DFPAR) for very small volume production runs.
