1.1 Mission & Vision: Defining "From Atom to Cloud"

The mission of this organization is to bridge the physical reality of precision hardware manufacturing with the speed and scale of digital infrastructure. The core purpose of the system is to eliminate the friction inherent in developing, producing, and supporting complex electronic products globally.

The Mission Statement: Why Dannie Exists

The organization exists to ensure that the assembly of reliable hardware is governed by auditable digital standards.

Dannie exists to build the world's most reliable and traceable physical products by digitally unifying the entire manufacturing lifecycle—from the raw material (Atom) to the final deployment and service infrastructure (Cloud).

Atom to Cloud Defined

This phrase defines the mandatory scope of control and data integrity:

  1. Atom (Material Origin): Traceability begins at the raw material level, requiring lot number control for every critical component (PCBs, microprocessors, wire spools). This ensures quality defects can be traced back to the original supplier source.
  2. Cloud (Digital Service): Data integrity extends through the product's lifespan, linking the factory's production record (MES) to field performance, firmware updates, and customer service data.

The Vision: Perfect Process Synchronization

The long-term vision is to achieve a state of Perfect Process Synchronization, where the physical reality of every board, every harness, and every enclosure flawlessly matches the digital blueprint. This eliminates process friction, accelerates design cycles, and ensures complete, auditable quality for critical applications.

Synchronization Goal

Synchronization means that the data systems (MES, ERP, PLM) always reflect the actual state of the physical world. This includes:

  • BOM Integrity: The electronic Bill of Materials (BOM) matches the physical components installed.
  • Recipe Alignment: The authorized Reflow Profile (digital recipe) matches the measured board temperature (physical profile).
  • Fault Reporting: Failures reported in the field immediately link back to the exact manufacturing step and component lot used.

Operational Definition: Non-Negotiable Outputs

The organization's mission translates into three non-negotiable operational outputs that govern every engineering decision.

1. Zero Guesswork

Every engineering and assembly decision must be based on accessible, verified data.

  • Mandate: Prohibit the use of subjective judgment or "tribal knowledge." All critical parameters (torque settings, crimp heights, component placements) must be defined, measured, and stored in a central database (MES).
  • DFM Integration: The design phase must integrate manufacturing risk data (FMEA) to ensure design decisions are validated against actual process capability.

2. Total Traceability

Every product Serial Number (SN) must be linked to its complete genealogical history. This is a foundational audit mandate.

  • Genealogy Scope: Traceability must include the lot numbers of all critical raw materials, the unique torque values applied to safety fasteners, final test results, and rework attempt counts (Chapter 6.3).
  • Auditability: The system must provide an unalterable, comprehensive record that can satisfy rigorous external regulatory and customer audits (e.g., IPC Class 3).

3. Maximum Reliability

The core processes must be statistically controlled to exceed industry-standard quality goals.

  • Statistical Control: The process must be statistically controlled using SPC (Statistical Process Control) to achieve reliability levels that minimize defects.
  • Target: All mission-critical processes must aim to statistically exceed 6s igma goals, corresponding to ≈ 3.4 Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO).
