WBSP098: Grow Your Business by Learning Key Nuances From the Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry w/ Julie Hopkins

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation

An average manufacturing facility may have ten operations to produce a part. The process of creating a chip goes through at least 500 steps. Some of these processes use significantly expensive machines and materials. They also require timely preventive maintenance and sophisticated scheduling. Operational improvements at such facilities could mean a massive difference to your bottom line, while bottlenecks could mean increased operational overhead and product cost.

In today's episode, we have our guest, Julie Hopkins, who discusses how she could bring significant productivity improvements in semiconductor facilities by setting the 10x goal. She also describes the manufacturing and quality processes of a dry etch semiconductor fabrication facility and how it is different from other manufacturing sites. Finally, she shared several stories of how to find hidden items that may reduce the operational availability within your process.
