1. A system to provide product and process improvement of a product comprising:
a manufacturing route, the manufacturing route has a manufacturing route key, the manufacturing route is configured to accept data from a client machine;
a multidimensional data warehouse schema, the data is associated with the manufacturing route key using the multidimensional data warehouse schema to form multidimensional manufacturing route data;
a multidimensional manufacturing route database, the multidimensional manufacturing route data is stored in the multidimensional manufacturing route database, wherein the manufacturing route key identifies the manufacturing route from a plurality of manufacturing routes within the multidimensional manufacturing route database; and
a processor, the processor is configured to:
identify specific data from the multidimensional manufacturing route database that indicates a symptom of a problem occurring within the manufacturing route, wherein the problem is at least one of the following;
a tolerance of the manufacturing route is out of a first acceptable range,
a yield of the manufacturing route is out of a second acceptable range, and
customer satisfaction for the product is out of a third acceptable range, and the specific data is used to identify at least one dimension of the manufacturing route that is contributing to the problem; wherein the processor is configured to receive an input, the input is a cause added in response to a symptom wherein a symptom/cause relationship is established to provide a basis for product and process improvement using data that is extracted from the multidimensional manufacturing route database.
