About the Course
The course will be a one-day HALT & HASS training
seminar at the Cincinnati Facility. The seminar is intended
to provide both theory and practice in HALT and HASS to
those who want to learn enough about the methods to
perform them well without assistance. All seminars include
meals and training materials.
Course Outline
HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) is a weakness discovery
process used during product development. A stepped stress
process is used taking products beyond specification to find
weakness and to quantify product margins. HASS (Highly
Accelerated Stress Screening) is used during production to
screen products for unexpected weakness to prevent these
weaknesses from surfacing during customer use. HALT and
HASS both use the same type of specialized test chamber.
This concentrated one day HALT and HASS class will provide
the student with a complete working knowledge of when and how to apply HALT to a wide variety
of products. Even more important, the student will learn how to interpret the results of the test and
determine how to respond. Discussion will also include “when do we stop improving” which is a most
often asked question.
Critical concepts covered:
-
Preparing for a HALT test.
-
Understanding the mindset behind HALT so that its intent is not confused with traditional
Qualification testing.
-
Understanding the details of the standardized HALT Test Process so that product margin can be
compared between products.
-
“Problem preventing design practices” that can be learned from conducting HALT.
-
Video will be shown of a wide variety of products being tested so that fixturing and monitoring
can be seen by example.
-
Why we compare what does not fail to what does fail to see the contrast in product strength.
-
Normal precautions to ensure safe use of the HALT chamber.
Preparing for a HASS process.
-
How to develop the HASS screen.
-
Importance in using the “Safety of Screen” process to make sure that product damage does not
occur.
-
“Screen Tuning” to optimize the efficiency of screening activity.
-
Using the HASS screening results for continuous improvement of the product.
