Electronics Process Technology: Production Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation

Electronics Process Technology is a systemised presentation of new techniques and methods in electronics manufacture. Planning, preparation and execution are interlinked to achieve robust manufacturing processes that realise optimum quality, costs and quantities in the final product.

Topics covered include:

• modelling of manufacturing processes;
• graph-theoretical approach to manufacturing planning;
• process simulation and optimisation including cost optimisation;
• quality assurance and statistical process analysis and control;
• reliability models for electronic products and
• assembly accuracy.

The authors co-ordinate these disparate subjects into a coherent whole that will be of great interest both to manufacturing engineers working in electronics production and to academics studying the manufacturing process. The book will also be a valuable reference for students of electronics manufacturing technology.
