Topics
What matters in high-tech manufacturing:
• Process control – We need a stable manufacturing process. We need to consistently make good product.
• Yield analysis – We need to identify root causes of quality losses and eliminate them.
• Equipment efficiency – We need to achieve good return on very expensive equipment assets. We need to understand capacity and plan investments wisely.
• On-time delivery – We need to promise delivery dates we can achieve, and we need to achieve them.
• Speed (AKA cycle time) – For competitive reasons and economic reasons, we need manufacturing to be fast.
