Process optimization software

Starfire 3.0, a groupware system for engineers, offers a more manageable environment for manufacturing process development, new product introduction, and technology transfer. It is used systematically to define, characterize, and optimize critical manufacturing processes, and makes possible a consistent and predictable reduction in variability in products, processes, and analytical systems. Starfire combines four major elements in a software system: it automates a proven methodology for manufacturing process optimization, ensuring that tools and techniques are applied consistently and correctly throughout design, development, and manufacturing; it includes a full suite of powerful statistical analysis tools for engineers; it provides expert guidance for engineers in the use of applied statistics, characterization, and control techniques; and it captures and retains process knowledge in a database that can be shared throughout the fab.
