| SAS Institute | Legacy | SAS Asset Performance Analytics | Asset Performance Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018, Western Digital deployed SAS Asset Performance Analytics to support manufacturing quality and predictive maintenance across its hard disk drive operations. SAS Asset Performance Analytics is implemented as an Asset Performance Management solution to identify potential failures early in the production process and prevent yield excursions.
The deployment ingests a comprehensive data mart built by Western Digital that contains thousands of variables from suppliers, manufacturing, testing, shipment and customer use. SAS Asset Performance Analytics monitors equipment sensors and tags machine to machine data, enabling predictive model building, data extraction, data conversion and advanced data analysis. The solution includes a built in case management system that organizes exceptions and engineer workflows for rapid investigation.
Operational coverage centers on the Hard Disk Drive Analytics department and on production lines where engineers receive alerts when device performance indicators exceed thresholds. The implementation supports end to end product and component traceability across the lifecycle, giving engineers actionable alerts to make timely decisions before a yield excursion occurs.
Process changes included shifting from reactive root cause analysis to predictive monitoring and instituting alert driven case management workflows for timely remediation. Engineers execute model driven investigations and decisioning using extracted and converted data to prioritize interventions and reduce the distribution of defective units.
As deployed, SAS Asset Performance Analytics enabled Western Digital to predict yield excursions and reduce losses caused by defective devices, lowering returned unit volumes and reinforcing customer loyalty and trust, outcomes explicitly stated by the company. This implementation is an Asset Performance Management initiative focused on protecting product quality across HDD manufacturing.
