Abstract

This paper report on the application of the case-based reasoning (CBR) approach (Kolodner, 1993) to develop a defect prediction system to support the development of new printed circuit assembly (PCA) products. Using a CBR system, past PCA design specifications and manufacturing experiences including defect and yield results can be effectively stored and reapplied for future problem solving. For example, the CBR can then be used at design stage to amend designs or define process options to optimise the product yield and service reliability. A case study using a case-base provided by a PCA manufacturer is presented
