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

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

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
