DESIGN FOR PRODUCIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCIBILITY GUIDELINES THAT CAN BE APPLIED DURING THE DESIGN PHASE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. THE GUIDELINES ADDRESS PRODUCIBILITY FEATURES OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AT LEVELS RANGING FROM BASE MATERIALS TO AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY, WHILE CONSIDERING OTHER RELATED PRODUCT ASPECTS, SUCH AS, MAINTAINABILITY, TEST, AND INSPECTION. THE PROJECT WILL BE PERFORMED OVER A TWENTY-SIX WEEK PERIOD AND WILL BE PERFORMED BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS FAMILIAR WITH THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM PRODUCIBILITY ISSUES OF BOTH GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY.
