Method and system for controlling product quality

A system comprising:

• a memory that stores instruction code;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the instruction code is executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving i) process information that specifies one or more process requirements and one or more potential causes of failures associated with processes for manufacturing a design, and ii) control information that specifies one or more parameters and one or more values associated with the one or more parameters that facilitate determining whether the one or more process requirements specified in the process information that are associated with the processes are being met wherein the process information and the control information include multiple entries and each entry includes multiple data fields;
• digitally linking entries of i) the process information to entries of ii) the control information within memory of the computer via values of identifier fields of the process information and the control information, wherein an entry of the process information that is associated with an entry of the control information has a same value of an identifier field;
• receiving sensor data associated with the one or more parameters from one or more sensors of a product development environment;
• monitoring sensor data received from a product development environment, wherein the data is associated with the one or more parameters from one or more sensors of the product development environment that is within distance to equipment used in manufacturing the design;
• comparing the sensor data with a control plan table specifying sensor values per parameters for digitally linked process and control information for manufacturing the design to determine whether any of the sensor data is outside of an associated range of values;
• for particular sensor data determined to be outside the associated range of values, determining, based on accessing linked entries of the process information and the control information in the memory, a process requirement and a process in the process information associated with the particular sensor data;
• generating a user interface that displays a type of sensor outputting the particular sensor data, the process requirement and the process for a particular parameter of the control information, and a potential cause of failure associated with the process;
• and
• communicating, to a terminal, the user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instruction code, wherein the instruction code is executable by a processor of a computer to perform operations comprising:
