Basically, I hate to call them Post-Mortems, unless the process was a total
disaster!
Seriously, we do write "First Build Reports" or 'Prototype Build Reports'.
As a Product and Process Development Engineer, I have been involved in these
for a long time, in a couple of different places.
What you want to include can range from guidance/check-list (to avoid all
the defects) for the next build to a complete DFM for the designer.

Typically, the first page will of course contain the name of the submitter,
name and part number of the product and the list of approvers.

The contents would be:

1. Product Description - I usually include a couple of digital pictures.
Describe Technology, chemistries and finishes
2. Documentation Reference list - customer documentation, process
documentation, visual aids, program names, IPC610 or what ever the standard
used was.
3. Equipment set up parameters and profiles
4. Design rule violations
5. Process Issues - frankly put down everything that happened, so that steps
can be taken to better yourself the next run and/or next product.
6. Fixture and Tooling Issues
7. DFM Recommendations
8. Closing conclusions and recommendations.

I am afraid I cannot actually send out a build-report - contract violations,
etc...

Hope this helps.

You may contact me off-line for details for the next couple of months, after
which I am afraid I do not know where I will be, since our plant is closing
:-(
Any recommendations?????

Barry,
        When I was with K*Tec Electronics (now Suntron), we had a decent
NPI process that covered most of the bases. Ed Smith, our director of
manufacturing, did a paper on out NPI process at SMTAI '99, you can find
it here:

Not sure about the post-mortems, but the front end was adressed pretty
thoroughly....

Mike

Good Morning All.

Am wondering if any are performing Post Mortems on their NPI's. If so,
would anybody be willing to share forms, doc's, etc.

Thank you

Barry
