Investigation of electronic assembly design alternatives through production modeling of life cycle impacts, costs, and yield

Stuart, J.A. ; Dept. of Ind. Welding & Syst. Eng., Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH, USA ; Turbini, L.J. ; Ammons, J.C.

There are a number of different product and process design choices for electronics assemblies. Decision tools to aid in the selection of a product and process design have been limited to qualitative methodologies. In addition, trade-offs between environmental impacts, yield, and reliability have not been analyzed. In this paper, electronic assembly product and process design alternatives are investigated using a quantitative methodology with life cycle considerations for environmental impacts. These impacts include energy usage, material consumption, waste generation, process yield, and product reliability.
