Gauge the effectiveness of Your ESD Control Program

The main responsibility for any ESD Coordinators is to ensure the ESD Control Program that you established for the organization you work for is running effectively.

How do you know whether the efforts you have put in ensuring the ESD sensitive parts are not damaged by static electricity really bring you the results you expect?

There are several ways you can use to gauge the effectiveness of your ESD Control Program.

• customer feedbacks or complaints
• internal testing fallout

Each of the customer complaint or internal testing fallout must be analyzed through a defined process.
Investigating ESDS parts failure through proper Failure Analysis techniques will
help to determine the root cause for the component failure.

Results from monitoring the customer complaints and internal testing fallout in a systematic way with a root cause defined can be used as an indicator which you can use to track the effectiveness of all the efforts you have put in establishing the ESD Control Program.

It is also a good indicator to be used to gauge your work performance.

When there is a systemic problem in the ESD Control Program, ESD failures in ESDS parts will occur in a systematic trend.
