 FEO5: Supply Chain Management FEO Volume 5, November 20, 2008
Adopting any new standard will depend on the perceived amount of utility that one will receive; bottom line, if one has to adopt the standard to create or maintain revenue, then the standard will be adopted. The pursuant amount of information given, however, may just fulfill the minimum requirement.

RFID in the Supply Chain – Part 2: Getting More Out of the System FEO Volume 3, May 28, 2008
The manufacturing industry is continuously
seeking ways to improve performance
amidst a growing competition at a constantly
increasing pace. Auto-ID technologies like
RFID are enabling technologies that drastically
help improve operations by reducing
uncertainty and variability of the information
related to the product being manufactured.
These technologies are also being used
increasingly to improve quality and help in
the control of the manufacturing process.

INTRODUCTION: Supply Chain Management FEO Volume 2, February 29, 2008
In a predominant engineering culture
like semiconductor manufacturing, we are
beholden to new technology and the application
of it. For many of us, it is not uncommon
for advances in supply chain management
to take a backseat to process and
equipment investment in our industry. One
exception to this paradigm has been the
advent of RFID.

RFID in the Supply Chain: Part 1 – Inventory Tracking in Semi-Automated Wafer Fabs FEO Volume 2, February 29, 2008
Streamlining operations within semiautomated
8” fabs is critical for lowering
wafer cost and staying competitive in an
environment where worldwide manufacturing
capacity is increasingly consolidating.
This article aims to provide insights on the
impact of using RFID technology to improve
lot location tracking within semi-automated
wafer fabs.

As competitive pressures to
improve cost and speed increase, the need
to integrate a company’s systems and
processes increases as well.

Introduction: Supply Chain Management FEO Volume 1, November 20, 2007
The need for Y2K compliance introduced
any of the rest of us to the idea of a “suite”
of software that could be deployed across
multiple functions of a company providing an
interdisciplinary solution to the then “standalone”
systems.

No Middle Ground FEO Volume 1, November 20, 2007
Right after the burst of the ’00 technology bubble,
there was a large drop in silicon wafer
production/utilization – almost a 50 percent drop from
Q1 ’00 to Q1 ’02.
