I continued my quest in producing a comprehensive report on the feasibility of using upbent lead frames for SOT363F products. In the mean time, I was given a side chore to complete which was to update the Product Master Data (PMD).

I had completed my project report on the feasibility of using upbent lead frames for SOT363F products. It is 58 pages long. I know quantity is not always commensurable with quality. Nonetheless, I would endeavor to debunk that as I had placed profound effort in conjuring up this report. Through this time-consuming process, I had assiduously undergone theoretical evaluation of the problem at hand; acquire actual values on actual products and finally simulating obtained data using software called Minitab. Besides that, I had enhanced my skills of writing an engineering report as well as significantly improved my Microsoft Word and Excel literacy.

In addition to project report, I spent the rest of the day updating Product Master Data (PMD) as well as detecting and correcting errors found in PMD updated by colleagues.

I started off the day updating Product Master Data (PMD), before proceeding to take quite a number of pictures on decapped products, both top view and side view. Moreover, I also took pictures on die pushed products.

I spent the whole day gaining cognizance about Macros, which is one of the most powerful features in Microsoft Excel. I was given a book to read. The objective of using Macros is to ease our works and shorten task completion time. I was asked to create Macros akin to the project that I had just completed so that whenever there is another pristine set of parameters to be evaluated, one does not need to come through all those tedious processes like calculations, actual value acquisition and Minitab simulations, to have a rough overview on the feasibility of implementing that set of parameters.

I proceeded with my effort to engender Macros. I had decided to use divide and conquer strategy in coming up with usable Macros by dividing the whole project into noticeable parts and writing Macros for each one.

Besides that, I was requested by Miss Manggala to aid her in completing her engineering report. To accomplish that, I was required to use JMP software to simulate over five thousand values obtained from the back end testing, in order to produce multiple relevant graphs impregnating process stability. I was also required to tag along Puan Norham who was in charge of performing manual tests on failed products to authenticate that the products were indeed flawed, and were not due to machine malfunctioning.
