Bold corporate-level initiatives like driving towards zero PPM or DPMO require aggregation of data from various sources.
This often results in an implementation of a common Digital Twin data model that scales across product lines, manufacturing locations, and supply chains. Supplier quality isn’t measured solely from supplier scorecards, incoming inspection, or inspection at the source. The quality of supplier parts needs to be gauged in manufacturing to see what is failing via PPM and DPMO. These metrics drive product quality and operational efficiency.
With real-time PPM and DPMO, electronics manufacturers can be alerted to emerging issues tied to rogue parts, supplier lots, supplier work orders, and more. If these issues are undetected, the OEM or CM can incur significant costs, quality issues, and operational inefficiency.
By being able to proactively resolve quality issues, the manufacturer can improve product quality, prevent customer escapes as well as increase manufacturing velocity by decreasing the length and amount of rework cycles.

Aggregated Visibility of PPM and DPMO
By deploying a manufacturing intelligence system with a common Digital Twin-based data model across all product lines, organizations can use this single source of truth for repeatable and trusted insights like PPM to optimize product quality, throughput and efficiency.
A complete digital twin drives better manufacturing performance, quality, and outcomes. With IntraStage BlackBelt Enterprise being the most complete version of the digital twin anywhere by making data analyzable and usable, contact us for a demo on how we can use our demo data or your actual manufacturing data to show you the power of the digital twin.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Cycle Time are critical metrics describing how a product is performing in its manufacturing process, and the efficiency and speed of that process and its constituent machinery. Executive leadership needs these metrics to maintain profitability, efficiency, and manufacturing velocity.
With Fusion, users can have real-time insight into analytics that drive these metrics and have root-cause workflows to identify, investigate, and resolve any OEE, Cycle Time, and utilization issues.
Having high-level metrics is good; having high level metrics integrated with workflows that leverage the underlying details that drive and provide insight into the metrics is better.
A board overlay is a prime example of having multiple sources of data inform a workflow that outputs in better quality and processes.
For complex electronics manufacturing, there are several common terms for the configuration of a unit: as designed, as built, as maintained
Another term we use at IntraStage is ‘as-is’.
