5、 Selection for Assessment of Nonconforming Levels in Parts Per Million (PPM) NOTICE This document has been taken directly from the original TechAmerica document and contains only minor editorial and format changes required to bring it into conformance with the publishing requirements of SAE Technica
6、l Standards. The release of this document is intended to replace the original with the SAE International document. Any numbers established by the original document remain unchanged. The original document was adopted as an SAE publication under the provisions of the SAE Technical Standards Board (TSB
7、) Rules and Regulations (TSB 001) pertaining to accelerated adoption of specifications and standards. TSB rules provide for (a) the publication of portions of unrevised specifications and standards without consensus voting at the SAE committee level, and (b) the use of the existing specification or
8、standard format. TechAmerica Standard Method Selection for Assessment of Nonconforming Levels in Parts Per Million (PPM) EIA-554-A August 1996 EIA-554-ANOTICE TechAmerica Engineering Standards and Publications are designed to serve the public interest by eliminating misunderstandings between manufac
9、turers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards and Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonme
10、mber of TechAmerica from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and Publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than TechAmerica members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or int
11、ernationally. Standards and Publications are adopted by TechAmerica in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, TechAmerica does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Sta
12、ndard or Publication. This TechAmerica Standard is considered to have International Standardization implications, but the ISO/IEC activity has not progressed to the point where a valid comparison between the TechAmerica Standard and the ISO/IEC document can be made. This Standard does not purport to
13、 address all safety problems associated with its use or all applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before its use.

14、sal No. 4959, formulated under the cognizance of the TechAmerica Quality and Reliability Engineering (QRE) Committee) Published by 2011 TechAmerica Standards nonconforming units are removed if found. The action resulting from an audit is taken on the process that produced the material. 5.3 average o
15、utgoing quality (AOQ) - The average proportion nonconforming components, in parts per million, from a series of lots. 5.4 proportion nonconforming - The unknown proportion nonconforming of the total population of components. Estimates of proportion nonconforming are derived from samples. 5.5 inspect
16、ion - The assessment of a characteristic and its comparison to a standard. Examples of inspections include low temperature electrical test, room temperature test, visual inspection. 5.6 lot - An aggregate of components produced under essentially the same set of conditions from which the sample is ra
17、ndomly drawn. 5.7 nonconformance - A component characteristic that does not conform to an individual specified criterion. 5.8 nonconforming component - A single component that has one or more nonconformances. These nonconforming components may be placed into classes for reporting purposes. 5.9 parts
18、 per million (PPM) - The unit of measurement used to describe the quality of manufactured product, giving an average number of nonconforming components for each million units. 5.10 sample period - The period of time selected by the manufacturer to accumulate data for the calculation and reporting of
19、 PPM. EIA - 554A Page 3 6.0 ASSUMPTIONS The methods described herein are primarily directed at components whose production or procured volume is large enough, during some predefined sampling period, to give statistically meaningful information. 7.0 METHODS 7.1 There are currently three standards ava
20、ilable to the electronics industry for determining the proportion nonconforming and for providing standardized definitions of PPM nonconforming. Each is applicable in a particular situation and care should be used when selecting any method. It is particularly important that the assumptions associate
21、d with each method be examined to ensure that the results obtained will be meaningful to the user and truly representative of the process being evaluated. 7.2 The standards described in this document are applicable in three different situations: 7.2.1 Acceptance Inspection Sampling Using Attributes
22、Data This method is fully described in EIA 554-1. 7.2.2 Audit Inspection Sampling Using Attributes Data This method is fully described in EIA 554-2. 7.2.3 Inspection Sampling Using Variables Data This method is fully described in EIA 591. 7.3 The acceptance inspection sampling standard (EIA 554-1) i
23、s designed for use with data from a traditional lot-by-lot acceptance inspection. The data gathered from such an activity are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality (AOQ) expressed as PPM. Since this type of inspection is often done prior to the shipment of product it may not be necessary to add
24、 a separate inspection step. If sample sizes are sufficient, this method provides 90% statistical confidence that the reported AOQ PPM values are within 30% of the true population AOQ value. If sample sizes are insufficient to do this, formulas to calculate a one-sided upper 90% confidence bound are
25、 included. If specified conditions are met, a procedure for exclusion of abnormal data is available in this method. EIA - 554A Page 4 7.4 The audit inspection sampling standard (EIA 554-2) is designed for use when audit inspection is performed. Audit inspection is not used to accept or reject produc
26、t but only to gather data to assess quality levels. This method has a built-in statistical confidence so that no additional calculation is required. This method may be used in situations where acceptance inspection is not performed or at any point in a process where data can be obtained to estimate
27、quality levels. If specified conditions are met, a procedure for exclusion of abnormal data is available in this method. 7.5 The variables inspection sampling standard (EIA-591) is designed for use when traditional attributes sampling methods (7.3 and 7.4) are not desirable. Attributes inspection ty
28、pically requires large sample sizes. The use of variables sampling can provide statistically meaningful estimates with significantly reduced sample sizes. The procedure described in this standard is a useful approach to estimating PPM nonconforming using variables data if, and only if, the data are
29、consistent with the assumption of an underlying population distribution that is normal (Gaussian). If this assumption is met, this method can provide a cost effective method for estimating PPM nonconforming with relatively small sample sizes.
