A system for optimizing at least one of a design, production, or testing process of a product in a mass manufacturing process includes: a central processing unit; a network interface operatively connected to the central processing unit; a storage device; a memory including logic for execution by the central processing unit, wherein the logic includes: a server handler made up of a client applet and a client interface servlet which are configured for enabling authorized end-user communication; an error data collection handler configured for gathering error data; an error data classification handler; an analysis handler; a suggested actions report handler; and the system further includes a server database configured for storing, modifying, and deleting data.

Improving design manufacturing, and transportation in mass manufacturing through analysis of defect data

A computer-implemented method of optimizing at least one of a design, production and testing process in a mass manufacturing process includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product; classifying the error data into categories of symptoms; mapping the symptom to a revealing condition of the product; mapping the revealing condition to a test type; mapping a scope of a fix to phases of error injection mapping; and recommending modifications to an end user for at least one of the design, production, delivery, and testing process based on the scope of the fix.

Method to improve requirements, design manufacturing, and transportation in mass manufacturing industries through analysis of defect data

A computer-implemented method of optimizing a design of a product in a mass manufacturing process includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product; classifying the error data into categories of errors to provide classifier error data; analyzing relationships among the classified error data; producing an analysis report; and recommending modifications to an end user for the design of the product.

System to improve requirements, design manufacturing, and transportation in mass manufacturing industries through analysis of defect data

A computer-implemented method of optimizing at least one production or testing processes in a mass manufacturing industry, includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product at a plurality of points along its production and distribution chain; classifying the error data into categories of errors to provide classified error data; analyzing relationships among the classified error data; and suggesting modifications to at least one of the production or testing processes based on the analysis.
