Global REALMICS_(TM) Management Information and Control System for Globally Distributed

摘要

This paper describes Global REALMICS_(TM), a management information and control system for globally distributed manufacturing sites. One of the most important aspects of managing worldwide manufacturing is the efficiency of monitoring manufacturing sites information regarding production and quality control. Global REALMICS_(TM) provides functions to integrate the manufacturing data from distributed manufacturing sites, monitor the changes in quality indexes, and analyze defect events across the different sites. Global REALMICS_(TM) has been applied to notebook PC manufacturing, where it has shortened the usual cycle time of global quality control from weekly to daily.
