Webinar: Root Cause Analysis - What's New |
|
Our Root Cause Analysis Webinar will consist of 4 experts in the industry talking about different aspects of RCA.
1. Understanding the Motivation and Basics of Root-Cause Analysis in Electronics: Jim McLeish, CRE, Senior Technical Staff, DfR Solutions
Before successful Root-Cause Analysis can even start, organizations and individuals must understand the need to have basic problem solving skills, tools and knowledge of how problems occur and how they can be fixed. This portion of the webinar will discuss the fundamentals of RCA and cover some of the best practices in the electronics industry from the Physics of Failure point of view.
2. Understanding Techniques to Address Mechanical Components in the Evaluation of System Reliability: Cliff Lange, Ph.D., PE, Ops A La Carte
In this portion of the webinar, we will first review the standard design guidelines for robust mechanical design. This is followed by a brief review of the critical elements of mechanical systems and the corresponding failure mechanisms. Then, we will go through a detailed review of RCA for a high temperature power plant creep failure and the analysis of fatigue of wind turbine blades.
3. A Mechanical RCA Case Study: Kim Parnell, Ph.D., Ops A La Carte
This portion of the webinar will provide an overview of a particularly spectacular process plant accident in Nevada. This incident became visible as a small fire which spread rapidly and ultimately ended with two devastating explosions. Through this case study, we will show how to develop a scenario and an initial sequence of events, modify scenarios based on new evidence, and identify the Root Cause of this accident and the sequence of events leading to the ultimate catastrophe.
4. Data Collection: An Important Aspect of RCA Investigation: Al Alaverdi, VP Technology, SigmaQuest

Forum: What OEMs Must Control in Manufacturing Outsourcing |
|
Virtually all OEM companies outsource the manufacture of all or a portion of their products to contract manufacturers (CM). However, few companies have a good understanding of what aspects of their business they must control in order to optimize the performance of their supply chain and mitigate risks.
At the “Symphony Spring Forum: What OEMs Must Control in Manufacturing Outsourcing” of April 30, 2008, we will discuss a) what key business processes you must control in outsourcing, b) how you can measure the performance of your contract manufacturer, and c) what tools you can utilize to maintain control of your supply chain. This forum is a 50/50 combination of short presentations from supply chain experts, as well as interactive dialogue among the participants through facilitated open discussion sessions.
What you will learn: - How to minimize your inventory exposure in the extended supply chain
- Robust tools that can be used to manage changes to your documentation and bill-of-materials
- Early warning performance metrics - rather than post-performance metrics - to monitor the health of your supply chain
- Key component and supply relationships that you must continue to manage How to monitor quality throughout the manufacturing process
Who should attend: Operations, engineering, test/quality, product management, and finance professionals who are directly involved with or impacted by manufacturing outsourcing. Click here for more information and to register. Save $100 on registration with Promo Code: SIGMA430 |
