新製品開発段階での管理方法最適化 

－仮想モデルでのオンラインQE－

On-line quality engineering has been used to optimize process control for products,which are already being mass-produced, but has not been applied to new products from the initial development stage. For greater front loading, however,it becomes necessary to optimize manufacturing process control from the development stage. A switch (one of our main products) as used as a model for developing an optimization method that began applying on-line quality engineering from the development stage. The developed method, based on a virtual model,succeeded in achieving an optimal mass-production control system from the initial ramp-up stage of mass production. In on-line quality engineering, optimization is usually based on past results. Optimization based on a virtual model is an innovative approach, not reported elsewhere, which makes optimization possible when a new process is being designed.
