Round-Robin Ranking

intro image

Round-robin ranking (RRR) is a priority management and decision-making tool. The concept behind RRR is that when faced with multiple options, it is difficult to determine the best one. Our brain can effectively compare and choose between two options at a time. Therefore, RRR encourages us to compare all possible combinations of options. Based on your choices, the system ranks the options and identifies the “winners”. RRR is an excellent tool for ranking and establishing priorities.

What can you gain from Round-Robin Ranking?

Round-robin ranking is a creative thinking tool that helps manage the priority of tasks, options, and items and facilitates decision-making. RRR is an excellent analytical instrument that encourages you to reconsider each available option repeatedly and make appropriate decisions. It is useful for:

  • Selecting the best option among multiple choices
  • Managing priorities for tasks, ideas, failures, and thoughts
  • Making decisions when dealing with various possibilities
  • Avoiding conflicting discussions during collective decision-making

When should you use the Round-Robin Ranking?

The Round-Robin Ranking (RRR) can be successfully applied whenever there are more than two options available. Here are some examples of situations where RRR is useful:

  • Equipment and process troubleshooting
  • Task management
  • Idea ranking during brainstorming sessions
  • Action management for implementing process changes
  • Action administration for introducing new products

You can also get creative and find many other situations where RRR can be useful.

Optimizing IC Interconnection: A Functional Approach to Innovation (Stay updated on the project's progress)

Semiconductor devices are becoming more complex and expensive. But what exactly are we paying for when we buy a computer, cellphone, or any device containing a microchip? It’s not for radically new functions—the core components remain the same: transistors and interconnections. According to Moore’s law, transistors are getting smaller, with more interconnection layers added, making the manufacturing process longer and more costly.In reality, we’re paying for the inability of engineers to efficiently solve engineering challenges.This project leverages System Functional Modeling (SFM) to analyze the IC interconnection layer and Process Functional Modeling (PFM) to evaluate its manufacturing process. These analyses aim to deepen our understanding of both the device and the production process, generating innovative solutions for cost reduction and improved efficiency.

Wafer cleaning issues at the wet process

Wet cleaning is widely used in microchip manufacturing. Single wafer equipment is working as follows. A wafer rotates, and chemistry is poured from a movable nozzle. Water rinsing is performed at the end of the process. Loading of a new batch of the chemistry resulted in excursion - a strongly increased amount of defects was observed on the wafer after the processing. The project is dedicated to the failure analysis and creation of innovative solutions.

SiO2 thin film creation in Diffusion furnace - Process Functional Modeling

The process is related to microelectronics - microchip manufacturing.The purpose of the process is to create a SiO2 layer on the surface of a Si wafer. Equipment: Vertical furnace to heat the wafers in the Q2 atmosphere and perform oxidation on the wafer surface. Process: The oxidation occurs on the front side and on the back side of the wafer Requirements: Create a SiO2 thin layer with a certain thickness and low sigma - low standard deviation of the thickness between the wafers and within the waferFailure: Wafers from the lower zone have higher thickness and significantly higher within wafer sigma (standard deviation of the thickness within the wafer)

Recycling waste of solar panels.students: Alaa & saed

Excited to share our latest project at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev! 🚀 We tackled the pressing issue of solar panel waste and explored innovative recycling solutions to make solar energy truly sustainable.Key insights:Solar panel waste could hit 78 million metric tons by 2050. Only 10% of panels are currently recycled in the EU. Our project highlights the need for efficient recycling technologies, better regulations, and economic incentives to drive sustainable practices.Let’s work together for a greener future! 🌱
