First-time capability

Line speed demonstration and first-time capability (FTC) The supplier must demonstrate that the capacity of the process meets Chrysler s requirements. This includes measuring "first-time yield" at various steps in the process. 

The statistics for quality have been around for a long time. Common performance measures include Pp, Pp, Cp, Cp first-time capability (FTC), line speed, and defective parts per million (ppm). This section provides an overview of common process capability terms and addresses their importance in supply chain management. 

The measures just discussed are likely found for individual operations. Other commonly used performance measures gauge the overall process. First-time capability (FTC) counts the number of acceptable products at each step in the process and at the end of the process. The constraint is that no rework can be done on the item at any point in the process. The picture provided is twofold. It shows how capable the collective process is. It also points to possible bottlenecks that diminish capacity. 

STM found one of its earliest applications as a tool for probing the atomic-level structure of semiconductors. In 1983, the 7x7 reconstructed surface of Si(l 11) was observed for the first time [17] in real space all previous observations had been carried out using diffraction methods, the 7x7 structure having, in fact, only been hypothesized. By capitalizing on the spectroscopic capabilities of the technique it was also proven [18] that STM could be used to probe the electronic structure of this surface (figure B1.19.3). 

Class D Capable with additional assurance. This is the class of first-time subcontractors with which you have not done sufficient business to put in class B and where you may need to impose ISO 9000 requirements or similar to gain the confidence you need. 

While CAM-6 is somewhat limited in its ability to perform large-scale simulations of physical systems (it is a much less capable system than its follow-on, the CAM-8, for example see discussion below), its fundamental historical importance cannot be overstated. CAM-6 allowed researchers to directly experience, for the first time and in real time, the evolution of CA systems theretofore undertsood only as purely conceptual models. Margolus and Toffoli recall that when Pomeau, one of... 

Resistance to physical shocks and vibration required careful attention to selection of rugged components and to securing electrical and vacuum systems, wiring, connectors, components, and boards. Chemical ionization (Cl) was used for the first time in a fieldable military detector because of the advent of rugged turbomolecular pumps capable of handling the gas load from the Cl reagent. 

Conjugated heterocumulenes generated in situ by an aza-Wittig reaction are also capable of electrocyclic-ring closure with a subsequent 1,3-H shift. This principle, applied for the first time by Saito et al. on butadiene iminophosphorane 51 (Scheme 28) by treatment with isocyanate and isothiocya-...
