III.Production Process Characterization
The goal of this chapter is to learn how to plan and conduct a Production Process
Characterization Study (PPC) on manufacturing processes. We will learn how to model
manufacturing processes and use these models to design a data collection scheme and to
guide data analysis activities. We will look in detail at how to analyze the data collected
in characterization studies and how to interpret and report the results. The accompanying
Case Studies provide detailed examples of several process characterization studies.
