Here is a sampling of the services ACI offers:
+ Failure Analysis and Reliability Testing in Electronics
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: Two Days
Course Overview
The objective of this course is to prepare the participant to make informed decisions when troubleshooting a manufacturing problem or collaborating with an analytical laboratory. Case studies provide a forum for problem formulation, investigation and resolution. The program is based on IPC, ANSI, ASM, ISTFA, EDFAS and IEEE test methods and specifications.
Who Should Attend
Both the novice and experienced participants can benefit from a failure analysis course, even those that do not deal with failure analysis directly: reliability engineers, product engineers, design engineers, quality assurance, manufacturing engineers, procurement managers and production line supervisors.
Content
The course is divided into lab and lecture sessions. Students are introduced to a broad range of failure analysis and reliability issues through hands-on instruction. In addition to exposure to common electronic failure mechanisms, participants learn the most effective analytical methods. The course contains the latest information on lead-free solder, x-ray fluorescence, RF plasma etching, and micro-probing of integrated circuits.
+ Design for Manufacturability
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: Two Days
Course Overview
The Design for Manufacturability (DFM) program helps companies respond to a simple fact: the opportunity to influence the cost of new product is greatest early in the life cycle of a product. ACI, as the National Center of Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing, has developed a program that provides a combination of lecture and factory experience, all housed in the same facility. The objective is to enable companies to setup effective DFM programs within their own facilities. The first day of the two-day program provides students with classroom sessions and templates for use in their own facilities. Day two provides hands-on factory experience, assembling and processing a demonstration printed wire assembly (PWA), which is intended to show the benefits and consequences of decisions made at the design level.
Who Should Attend
Program managers, design engineers, quality managers, engineering managers and engineers responsible for taking a design concept through inception to market will benefit from this course.
Benefits
Participants will learn to reduce design to market cycle time, parts costs, production cycle time while improving product quality.
+ Counterfeit Component
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Duration: One Day
Course Overview
This one-day counterfeit component course was developed to help electronics manufacturers achieve an understanding of the impact of counterfeit components and how counterfeit components are introduced into the supply chain.
The course features the techniques for detecting counterfeits; the steps to be taken to prevent their introduction into the supply chain; the methods to mitigate the adverse effects of counterfeits; and the ways of dispositioning counterfeits once they are detected.
Who Should Attend
Procurement and quality assurance personnel, supervisors, incoming inspectors, and everyone associated with parts, procurement and component supplies within an electronics manufacturing facility will benefit from attending this counterfeit component course.
