Abstract

The semiconductor industry faces the dual challenge of risk assessment and process improvement. This paper introduces a framework that integrates Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to address these challenges effectively. FMEA serves as the initial step to identify potential risks within the system, followed by applying the PDCA cycle to systematically address and enhance the identified risks. The comparison between the initial Risk Priority Number (RPN) value, determined through FMEA, and the post-RPN in PDCA value gauges the success of the framework. Implementing the system in a semiconductor assembly line yielded a significant 51% improvement in RPN, with additional Lean tools incorporated into PDCA, such as SMART goals, 6M, and multi-voting. This integrated framework amplifies risk management, fosters continuous improvement, optimizes resource utilization, and empowers data-driven decisions, ultimately bolstering organizational growth. However, the study acknowledges limitations such as its single-case focus and potential RPN calculation subjectivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
