Engr. Michael C. Godoy
Student Researchers

VII.

Cooperating Agencies:
Batangas State University (Lipa Campus)
Testech Group

VIII.

Beneficiaries:
Testech Group is an inspection house that offers other manufacturers services on
inspecting substrates mainly on semiconductors and electronics. These include
complete EMS solutions, complete assembly (sub-assembly, PCB assembly, FPC
assembly and other assembly processes), Tape and Reel, STD/N2 Bake and Dry
Pack, Laser Marking and Demarking.

IX.

Total Cost of the Project:

The total cost to be shouldered by the proponents in conducting the project study
will only include transportation cost that is amounting to Php 5,000.

X.

Rationale of the Project (Brief Description of the Situation)

The study focuses on the inspection process of Testech Group which includes the
AVI and the VRS, both are done mechanically, and the FVI, which is done
manually. However, despite the fact that inspection is done both mechanically
and manually, there is still
The goal of the researchers is to minimize the high-escapee rate of the said
rejects with the approach of Process Level PDCA. Step by step procedure of the
method will be done and various QC tools will be used by the researchers in order
to see the root cause of the problem. From the solution that the researchers will
developed,

XI.
1.

Objectives:
To determine the current inspection process of the company

2.

To determine the top rejects occurring

3.

To evaluate defect rate based on their monthly LRR

4.

To know the root cause of the high-escapee rate of the top defects

5.

To develop solution for the high-escapee rate of the top rejects with the use of
process level PDCA

XII.

Description of the Project, Strategies and Methods:

The proponents will study the existing inspection process and condition of the
company specifically the inspection area where the study will be conducted.
Through the assistance of the quality assurance team assigned with the
researchers, both will assess the current inspection process to identify the
problem which causes the top defects that may lead to rejects.
As part of the study, the researchers will introduce PDCA Cycle Record for the
recording of the observations, probable solutions and trials that will occur during
the study so monitoring of activities will be observed.
In addition for the study to be more effective, series of quality control tools will be
used for assessing improvement or solution made by both the researchers.

XIII.

Financial Plans:
Testech Incorporated will finance the project in any case of cost accumulation
during improvement cycle.

Functional Relationships with the Collaborating Agencies

The Industrial Engineering Department served as a researcher and the quality
control support of Testech Incorporated.
