ASM Europe selected Dyadem FMEA-Pro software to standardize its quality processes. Dyadem FMEA-Pro is a desktop software tool that automates the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) engineering quality method.
Dyadem said it is helping ASM Europe transfer its quality processes from a manual spreadsheet-like application to FMEA-Pro, which is configured so teams can carry information from one FMEA to the next, use a common library of terms and share best practices across divisions.
"Until we began using Dyadem's software, FMEAs were rarely performed. Now the tighter quality control gives us a great competitive advantage," said Max van den Berg, principal engineer, research, development and engineering, ASM Europe B.V.
"Our implementation of FMEA-Pro has eliminated the use of time-consuming spreadsheets and changed the way we look at quality across our European operations," he said.
ASM Europe said it standardized its FMEA quality process across its 700-person European operations with common templates that align consistent quality standards. Information is captured with continuous metrics and consistent FMEA analyses.
"ASM Europe is raising the bar in the semiconductor industry with FMEA quality standards," said Kevin North, president and CEO, Dyadem.
"There's no doubt that strict and consistent quality processes are valuable in any manufacturing environment," North said. "Everyone in the value chain benefits from better quality, and the only way to address quality holistically is to manage it across the entire lifecycle," he said.
