Abstract

The embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for improving the product quality of product lots produced on a production line. A quality value for each product lot is determined, and a quality benchmark is established. Each product lot is classified based on the quality benchmark. Product lots that have a quality value meeting the quality benchmark are classified as quality lots, and product lots having a quality value failing to meet the quality benchmark are classified as failing lots. Tools used in the production of the product lots are identified, which includes identifying a set of quality tools and a set of failing tools. Routing of additional product lots is directed by shifting production at least substantially to the set of quality tools.
