Computer assisted operator test station

This paper presents a unique computerized technique developed and implemented by employee empowerment that allows manufacturing personnel to evaluate wire in an operator testing station. A complete first-line acceptance is accomplished by a simple menu-driven program that affords an operator the ability to test the wire (diameter, tensile, yield, etc.) and then generates a printout of the data, a statistical analysis and/or shipping certification.
