Abstract

Process data is analyzed, the process data having been generated during a manufacturing process to detect a fault. One or more process variables of the manufacturing process that contributed to the fault are determined. A relative contribution of each of the one or more process variables to the fault is determined. A fault signature having relative contribution ranges for at least one of the one or more process variables is generated, the relative contribution ranges based on the determined relative contributions.
