ESD protection program at electronics industry — Areas for improvement

The ESD protection program set up in the electronics manufacturing facilities especially in China region (evident but not limited to that area) appears to have common weaknesses. They have a lot of ESD protection in place but do not know whether this is the right method at the right place. Nevertheless they have enough backup solutions in place so that they can handle ESDS without big problems. With the future limitations expected for on-chip ESD protection, it is necessary to increase their knowledge and to enable them to assess the ESD risks of their production lines in the right way.
