Everett Charles Technologies is the leader in the development of advanced technology circuit board and semiconductor test products.
Rushing to meeting demand.
Scotty, we need more POWER!!
New employees hired to “ramp-up” production
Production teams created by pairing Experts with new employees for training purposes.
Results of ramp-up.
Productivity reduced
Quality of products were diluted
Breakdown of communication between Engineering and Production
Defects in production were difficult to track without “evidential matter”, signed checklists were insufficient
Product only as good as the person or team who built it - “People dependent processes”
Team A
Team B
There must be a better way…
We need a system…
Central repository for all process related information
Productivity measurement
Closed-loop process control
Historical knowledge database
Must be Paperless
We need a system…
Train new hires and temps faster, the “right” way, without tying up the experts
Communication tool for manufacturing floor
Automate redundant or time consuming processes
Better reaction to business cycles – “ramp”ability and “elastic capacity”
ProWorks is born.
ProWorks is a Client/Server Application.
SQL Server Database (backend)
(Multiple Users)
.NET Client Application
I. Document the Process
II. Deploy the Process
III. Execute the Process
IV. Analyze the Process
ProWorks Core Components:
I. Document the Process
II. Deploy the Process
III. Execute the Process
IV. Analyze the Process
Document the Process – say what you do
Allow content to be created and maintained by Process Experts, not IT or Engineering
Use pictures, video, etc. to describe the Process
Link to existing Process documentation and databases
Support Files
Process Tree
Instruction Text
Document the Process – say what you do
Built-in Process revision control
Multiple language support
Security – watermarking and encryption
I. Document the Process
II. Deploy the Process
III. Execute the Process
IV. Analyze the Process
Deploy the Process – share what you say
Push-button rollout of Process
Standardized training tool for new hires, temps, and cross-training of “best practices”
ProWorks Database
(Best Practices)
Deploy the Process – share what you say
Replicate processes across different regions
Import/Export for process portability for standalone use or to send process to other facilities
Let’s try this in China.
Yeah, I see what you see!!!
Hey, can you see my
changes???
California New York
I. Document the Process
II. Deploy the Process
III. Execute the Process
IV. Analyze the Process
Execute the Process – do what you say
“Pass/Fail” status on each step
Elapsed time recorded to identify bottlenecks
Execute the Process – do what you say
Email notification on critical events within the Process
Troubleshooting database to provide “step-specific” problem solving tips based on previous failures
Symptoms
Corrective Actions
Execute the Process – do what you say
AutoCommands to enable ProWorks to interact with external applications
Share data with other ODBC compliant databases
ProWorks Database
ERP
CRM
Execute the Process – do what you say
“View Summary” graphically displays the current status of each Process as it’s executed
I. Document the Process
II. Deploy the Process
III. Execute the Process
IV. Analyze the Process
Analyze the Process – improve what you do.
Punchlist provides a snapshot of process variables and events
Analyze the Process – improve what you do.
Crystal Report Wizard for quick and easy report generation
Analyze the Process – improve what you do.
SQL Server backend allows easy access to data for mining and 3rd party reporting tools
CAR/PAR support for ISO compliance
Current Applications.
Product assembly, bring-up, and buy-off
Product installation, maintenance, and calibration
Online Help with integrated machine control
Accounting conformance and Sarbox audit
Design engineering
Any repetitive business processes – Hiring, Month-end close, Quote generation…
Case Study - Multitest
In 2006, Multitest was able to ramp production of their “MT 9928 Gravity Handler” from 2 machines/week to 8 machines/week with the aid of ProWorks
Multitest was able to do so adding 7 full time staff
Multitest has reached Level 3 integration of ProWorks
Multitest subcontractors also use ProWorks
