I've done whatever I want

After the Xuantie project establishment meeting ended, Xin Tong returned to his office, unable to calm down for a long time.

Holding a cup of green tea, he gently opened the office window, and a fresh air carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants floated in. The cherry blossoms on the bank of Huizhi Lake were in full bloom, and not far away, the warm April sunshine was silently blowing. The Pudong Software Park is shining brightly and brilliantly.

For a chip Design House, promoting the research and development of automotive-grade chips is actually not an easy task.

From an application level, MCU chips are divided into commercial grade, industrial grade, automotive grade and military grade.

The commercial grade is mainly for the consumer electronics industry, with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C and a chip life of 5 years. For example, if you buy a mobile phone, it will be good if it can last for three to five years.

The working temperature of industrial-grade chips will reach 85°C and the service life needs to be ten years, while the working temperature of automotive grade Grade 0 chips is required to reach 150°C and the service life is required to be more than 15 years.

The distance from commercial grade and industrial grade to automotive grade Grade 0 is comparable to an insurmountable gap!
  From a commercialization perspective, the counter-war project Tian Tianle is responsible for research and development is a typical industrial-grade chip.

Xin Tong knew very well that after being reborn, it was not enough to make an industrial-grade chip in this life. In his previous life, he was defeated by a car-grade chip, and he must avenge his shame in this life.

Besides, the domestic economy in the future cannot always be driven by real estate. Real estate will eventually become saturated!
  Sound economic growth must be driven by high-tech products, and automobile manufacturing can drive the development of many industries. The future economy must be driven by automobiles. From the fuel era to the autonomous driving era, the continuous iteration of the automobile industry will continue to promote The economy is moving forward.

It is a pity that this chip territory has always been controlled by major Western manufacturers!

Only self-developed car-grade chips can break the barriers of major Western manufacturers!
  Strategically, you can defy the enemy, but you must be very careful when implementing it.

When Xin Tong was wandering in his thoughts, the door of the office was gently pushed open. He turned around and saw that it was Logi who walked in.

"Lao Luo, is something wrong?"

"Boss Xin, I want to talk to you about the construction of the vehicle quality system!"

"Very good! Please sit down! My ideal in this life is not to make money. If it were to make money, I can stop now. My ideal is to make automotive chips!" Xin Tong patted Logitech on the shoulder and said.

"I know what you're thinking. Isn't it that you traveled thousands of miles to invite Yuan Chengxu here just for the car-standard chips?"

"Lao Yuan also said at the meeting just now that the research and development of car-grade chips requires a system. There is no standardized system as a moat. The development and production of car-grade chips is to build a beautiful pavilion in the sky. This year is our car-grade system. We must plan carefully for the construction year." Xin Tong was worried, with a heavy look on his face.

When he was at Ming Yueguang, he had no contact with the car specification system. When he went to Kilby to work in sales, he did crazy things all day long and was basically outside the quality system.

"Boss Xin, IATF16949 quality management system is not difficult, but it requires time and resource investment!"

"Oh!"

"This system has a total of five core tools, which divide R&D into two parts: product development and production process development. When a new project is developed, a project team must be established. How does the project team carry out its work? The APQP tool provides a set of methodology , stipulates the procedures and steps of project management, as well as the tools, output data, files, and records that can be used at different stages." Logitech blurted out as he was very familiar with the IATF16949 system.

"That's right! We must carry out the management of our Xuantie project in accordance with the IATF16949 quality management system!"

"Let me tell you about the internal logical relationship of this system, so that you can better understand it. In order to ensure the quality of project output, this system attaches great importance to defect prevention and has a set of scientific methods for analysis. For product development , DFMEA will provide a methodology to analyze the structure, function and functional failure of the product. For process development, PFMEA will provide a methodology to decompose the process and analyze it from the perspective of man-machine, material, method and environment." Logitech explained .

Xin Tong nodded while listening. “Use FMEA tools for prevention in advance, and there are two major tools afterwards!”

"What two tools?" Xin Tong asked eagerly.

"When a quality problem occurs, we must first collect data. This requires MSA analysis of the measurement system to ensure that the collected data is credible!"

Xin Tong nodded.

"At the same time, before collecting data, we need to define the key characteristics of the process and product, and conduct SPC monitoring of the characteristic parameters regularly!"

When it comes to SPC, Xin Tong can't help but think of his experience as a bonding process engineer at Mingyueguang. QA inspectors often use Dage4000 equipment to test the push and pull force of bonding wires, and use SPC software to monitor the stability of bonding equipment.

"The last tool?"

"Use APQP tools for project management, FMEA for defect prevention, and MSA and SPC to control the quality of the manufacturing process. The last step is to submit to the customer for PPAP approval." Logitech said with a smile.

"These five tools are like the eighteen martial arts skills of a martial artist. They are infinitely powerful. I understand. This is a very rigorous system. Each one is indispensable. Let's introduce it as soon as possible!" Seeing Luo Ji's confident look, Xin Tong felt in his heart Breathed a sigh of relief.

"I estimate it will take a year to introduce this quality management system!" Logitech said.

"There is no problem in one year. The mass production of our Xuantie project is optimistically expected to be in 2016. Slow work will lead to careful work. System implementation is the company's corporate culture construction. We must standardize people's behavior and subtly change the way we do things. The way, the pace is too fast and it’s easy to get stuck and rebound!”

"To manufacture automotive-grade chips, in addition to system compliance, we also need to improve our hardware capabilities!" Logitech said.

"Please say!"

"We need to build a special car-grade chip production line, train professional operators, add fully automatic molding machines and three-temperature testing equipment, and build a reliability laboratory that meets AEC-Q100 testing standards." Logitech said.

"Approximately how much investment is required?"

"Fifteen million!"

"We are not short of money, you just propose a budget and I will approve it!"

Logitech nodded.

After returning to Suzhou, he immediately hired a professional consulting company and soon started the IATF16949 quality system certification work.

A massive publicity campaign has also been launched at Wuji and Ruoshui Semiconductor.

At the morning meeting at the factory, Logitech said with a sonorous and powerful voice: "This year is the year of the company's automotive regulatory system construction. How do we understand automotive regulatory products? That is Six Sigma at [-] parts per million! It is zero-defect quality. !”

Thank you very much to Wang Mingdong for your valuable monthly ticket, thank you!
