Comprehensive Review on ESD Program Management ESD Book

ESD Program Management by Ted DangelMayer is the ESD book for any new ESD Coordinator at work.

Ted has shared all his experiences in developing a successful ESD Control program which he developed over a 20-year period in Lucent Technologies.

The ESD Program Management ESD book is well written and easy to read.

Here are the reviews of each chapter in the ESD Book.

Chapter 1: Twelve Critical Factors in ESD Program Management
Here Ted provided an eagle views on 12 critical factors that ESD coordinator need to consider before setting up an ESD Control program.

Chapter 2: Common Myths
Here Ted shared 15 common misunderstandings on ESD that usually occurred among new ESD Coordinators and employees.

Chapter 3: Implementing an ESD Control Program: The Basics steps
Here Ted provided step by step guidance during implementation of an ESD Control program.

Chapter 4: Fundamentals of Electrostatics
Here Ted provided the basic knowledge on Electrostatics. Any ESD coordinator requires an understanding of the fundamental of electrostatics before he could successfully run the ESD Control program.

Chapter 5: Economic Benefits: Seven Convincing Case Studies
One of the easiest ways to understanding how things work is by studying through a number of case studies. And Ted knew very well how to make any new ESD coordinator understand ESD problems through facts and figures he obtained from his experiments.

Chapter 6: Designed in protection and Product Testing
ESD protection built in device/component, Printed wiring board assembly and system level helps to prevent ESD damage. Ted shares some ESD protection techniques and the testing methodology to test for the effectiveness of the ESD protection during the design stage.

Chapter 7: ESD Test Facilities
Ted went through all the ESD instruments that an ESD coordinator needs or may need to help in checking and investigating ESD related matters.

Chapter 8: Realistic Requirements
Here Ted shared the realistic or the basic requirements which are needed for ESD Control Program management.

Chapter 9: Common Problems in Smaller Companies
Here Ted shared his ESD experiences he had seen when dealing with smaller companies.

Chapter 10: Guidelines for Smaller Companies: An Innovative System audit
In this chapter, Ted shares a comprehensive ESD program analysis survey which can both be used internally during the audit as well as during qualification of a supplier regardless of the size of the company.

Chapter 11: Internal Auditing
Here Ted provided a comprehensive picture of how an internal ESD auditing should be carried out to ensure the success of an ESD Control program.
That involves a systematic approach employing a trained inspector, an Audit guide or checklist, appropriate ESD instruments and database that helps to churn out useful information from the data key in by the inspector.

Chapter 12: Using Auditing Results to Manage the ESD Program
Here Ted showed how to use the auditing results to manage the ESD Program successfully.
By using simple statistically tool such as trend and pareto charts, the auditing results can be transformed to useful information where ESD process owner could use to make informed decision to improve the ESD Program.

Chapter 13: Statistical Process Control and ISO 9000
Here Ted shows how ESD Program can be monitored through the use of Statiscal Process Control (SPC) to ensure the ESD Program process is stable and how the ESD Program can function and integrate well to ISO 9000 requirements.

Chapter 14: Material Characterization and Auditing Measurements
Here Ted shares how Lucent Technology carries out the material qualification and auditing test for some ESD materials and equipments. It is a thought provoking section whereby any novice ESD Coordinator can easily benefit from the explanation given by Ted on why such testing is performed.

Chapter 15: Purchasing Guidelines: Finding the Hidden Costs and Problems
Finding the hidden costs that associated with new ESD material and equipment involves detail initial evaluation prior to the use of the ESD material and equipment as well as periodic checking of their performance. Total system approach needs to be considered during the initial evaluation to uncover the hidden problems.

Ted shares the methods used to find out the hidden costs and problems associated with key ESD materials and equipments such as ESD mat, ESD floor material, ESD Bag, ionizer and more.

Chapter 16: Training for Measurable Goals
Any training provided must be measured for its effectiveness and here TED shows how training could be done with a measurable goal.

Chapter 17: Training Demonstrations
This section provides a variety of training demonstrations that helps an ESD Coordinator to better comprehend and retent his understanding through detail explanations which is based on ESD fundamentals.

Chapter 18: Packaging Considerations
In this chapter, each type of material that is used in the packaging is explained.
Few examples given on packaging application further strengthens ESD Coordinator’s understanding on the subject.

Chapter 19: Automation
Automation is common to manufacturing lines nowadays. ESD damage due to automated equipment should not be overlooked.
In this section, Ted shares the qualification criteria for the automated equipments and few case studies where ESD coordinators can enhance their understanding on the ESD concept that he wants to convey.

Chapter 20: Strategic and Economic Benefits
In this last section, Ted shares some tips on how an ESD Control program can be justified for its existence.

To sum up, this ESD Program Management esd book by Ted is a must have ESD book for any ESD coordinators at work.

It gives a complete picture for handling ESD sensitive part from device/component level, printed wiring board assembly and equipment.

It acts as a mentor that provides invaluable guides for any ESD coordinators in their journey to establish a working ESD Control program for their organizations.
