| Semiconductor manufacturing from sourcing to fulfillment
|
Is your semiconductor manufacturing process running efficiently? Have you located inefficiencies and found bottlenecks in your process? The production solution for electronics from IBM addresses the semiconductor manufacturing process from sourcing to fulfillment. We can help you promote collaboration on the plant floor to the enterprise and with external members of your supply chain by:
- Improving shop operation management and production tracking by detecting where your process is not operating at maximum efficiency.
- Integrating the shop floor with intra-enterprise business applications and infrastructure for maximum utilization of equipment and increased collaboration.
- Implementing remote equipment e-diagnostics to decrease downtime with less effort.
This solution can help you:
- Achieve better return on assets through improved equipment uptime and mean time to repair.
- Generate more accurate forecasts by tying manufacturing information to customer sales and service applications.
- Improve productivity by automating processes
- Decrease factory cycle time by eliminating process bottlenecks and applying critical chain techniques.
- Reduce non-product (or test) wafer usage by decreasing process variability.
- Achieve faster factory conversion at technology nodes using proven object based MES templates and rich data models.

The production solution for electronics from IBM helped a major flat panel LCD display manufacturer implement a manufacturing execution system (MES) to compete in 5th generation (G5) panel production. Time-to-production was crucial in order to catch the market with a good margin. They also needed a high degree of automation for large panel size and the ability to add new tools dynamically and flexibly.
Our solution:
- Offers features to help manage the manufacturing process.
- Provides 24x7 operation with auto failover.
- Supports flexible and foundry-like manufacturing including full automation.
