Integrated Manufacturing and Test Process Platform

A process platform for integrating manufacturing and test process platforms, comprising:

• a. a manufacturing software subsystem;
• b. a manufacturing database, in data communication with the manufacturing software subsystem;
• c. a process design subsystem, in data communication with the manufacturing software subsystem;
• d. a new electronic work environment technical user interface, coupled to the manufacturing software subsystem;
• e. at least one display;
• and
• f. at least one processor to control the operation of the entire system and its components.

A method for performing automated testing of a product being manufactured at multiple sites of the manufacturing operation, said method being executed by a process platform having at least one computing device executing programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, comprising:

• a. storing data indicative of a product line in a non-volatile memory;
• b. storing data indicative of a process for manufacturing said product line in a non-volatile memory;
• c. storing data indicative of a process for testing said product line in a non-volatile memory, wherein said processes coordinate data flows from a manufacturing software subsystem, a manufacturing database, and a process design subsystem;
• and
• d. automatically executing quality control and process flow procedures stored in a non-volatile memory at predefined stages of a manufacturing process being executed by the process platform.

A system for managing a quality control process, comprising:

• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a first graphical user interface to be displayed on a screen;
• receiving data indicative of a quality level of a component;
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, determine if said quality level meets a threshold level;
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, causes a second graphical user interface to be displayed on a screen, wherein said second graphical user interface comprises a rework option;
• and
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, causes said component to be disassembled based upon a selection of said rework option.

A system for managing a quality control process, comprising:

• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a first graphical user interface to be displayed on a screen;
• receiving data indicative of a quality level of a component, wherein said quality level comprises a qualitative quality level and a quantitative quality level;
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, determine if said quality level meets a threshold level;
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, causes a second graphical user interface to be displayed on a screen, wherein said second graphical user interface comprises a retry option, wherein said retry option is only selectable or displayed if said component is not assembled;
• and
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory, wherein said programmatic instructions, when executed by a processor, causes said quality level checks to be performed again on said component based upon a selection of said retry option.
