The Board Design Test Vehicle is a method for objective evaluation and qualification of supplier capabilities for the fabrication of multilayer printed circuit boards. It is used to analyze and assess technical capability and reliability of products that are provided by a supplier, and provides a mechanism for supplier improvement with validation. The design incorporates features that allow for analysis of variables data to determine actual process capabilities statistically and accurately, with a minimal amount of effort. Data can be plotted with distributions to determine process capability, revealing whether the data is “filtered” or cherry-picked, and can help evaluate the repeatability and consistency of processes. The ability to validate design rules is provided and matches supplier capabilities to actual designs.

The design is “configurable” and has options embedded in a test/qualification vehicle, incorporated in a finished printed circuit board. It is adaptable to reflect the products of interest and/or supplier capabilities.
