Abstract :
The manufacture of cathodes for microwave vacuum electron device industry is in essence the sale of precisely controlled processes verses the sale of goods. The paper discusses a novel approach for applying multilayered relational database that permits the use of both purchased and customized reporting software for data collection and process monitoring for the purpose of establishing best practices for control of manufacturing.
