Optimizing Quality in Electronics Assembly: A Heretical ApproachIn a radical departure from the dozens of other quality books, this one makes the case that the traditional TQM procedures used in the electronics assembly field are not only ineffective-they contribute to many failures. The only book to focus exclusively on quality in electronics manufacturing-& to propose a measurable cost/benefit methodology-this provocative volume shows what's lacking in current quality programs, & how fresh approaches can yet avoid a quality "catastrophe" in the electronics industry. Along the way, numerous quality myths are exploded, hidden issues are confronted, & an array of electronics specific solutions are offered. |
