The seminar will cover the latest methods for finding weaknesses in products that cause field failures.First, emphasis is placed on stresses applied in the design phase (HALT) in order to force accelerated design maturity, obtaining robust design margins, and allowing earlier (mature) product introduction.Second, emphasis is given to the use of the methods in the production phase (HASS) to ensure robust manufacturing processes at suppliers, at top level assembly, and everywhere in between: shipping, handling, and storage.Correct application of HALT and HASS results in cost savings and reliability improvements that are orders of magnitude better than those attained using traditional approaches.The Workshop allows hands-on use of a HALT chamber to efficiently find design flaws in a simple stereo amplifier product. This involves stressing the product to precipitate hidden flaws, followed by use of an optimum detection screen to completely identify even intermittent precipitated flaws.
