Are you referring to SPC analysis...stuff like that? I had to set up the complete program at the printed circuit board facility where I was employed at so that we could get everything 'in control' so our scrap rate would drop.
We had to have a first pass rate of 99% (1% or less scrap rate) so that big vendors like Motorola/Xerox/Cisco Systems/Evans and Sutherland would buy from us...we also had to be ISO9002 certified...but that's a whole 'nother story...
