Course Overview
THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANROOM AWARENESS.
Introduction to Cleanroom Maintenance : Cleanroom contamination related failures continue to cost electronics & pharmaceutical manufactures many millions of dollars every year. The cost of damaged wafer, die, component and pharmaceutical products or assembly and pharmaceutical packaging might be only few cents or could reach thousands of dollars. When particle contamination happens in cleanroom environment, multiply the cost by ten. Airborne particle contamination can impact productions yields, product quality, reliability in the field and customer satisfaction, all of these will affect your profitability.
Current industry standards including ISO14644 all for effective Cleanroom control program that includes initial and recurrent Cleanroom awareness training for all personnel who might come into Cleanroom area, and for the maintenance of complete training records.
Course Objectives
By the end of this Introduction To Cleanroom Maintenance, Operation, Design & Construction programme,participants will be able to:
- Understand Cleanroom impact in the electronics & pharmaceutical environment
- Determine Cleanroom controls problems
- Establish & implement techniques to measure and audit your plant and Cleanroom Control Plan
