Semi-conductor Device
Industry
Understanding of the Industry
Key Issues of Semi-conductor Equipment Issues |
---|
Difficult to manage project progress and important role of PM |
Lack of actual profit and loss management and lack of cost management for each project |
Difficulty in managing BOM change – PLM Interface |
Need to manage processed products and outsourced customers |
Mixed sales processing of performance obligation 1 (delivery basis) and performance obligation 2 (percent of completion) according to application of IFRS 1115 |
Difficulty in calculating the cost of sales for multiple machines in one project |
Difficulty in inventory management and unit price calculation for each project |
Features of Semi-conductor Device Industry |
---|
It takes the form of an order-based industry, and projects are carried out for at least several months to several years |
It is not easy to manage materials, manpower, etc. that going into one project, and it is necessary to calculate the cost for each project |
Semiconductor business and market conditions increase investment/equipment in semiconductor equipment and lead to increase in equipment industry sales |
High dependence on semiconductor manufacturing industry |
The growth engine of the high-tech industry |
Although it is different for each semiconductor equipment, it is replaced with new equipment every 3-5 years (upgrade of equipment due to industrial development, etc) |
Semi-conductor Device Industry Issues & Solutions
Utilization of surplus inventory – cost reduction by putting it in new equipment
- Display common stock of items requested for purchase in the field
- Project (LOT) replacement processing and input processing of available inventory

Project BOM management and standardization through PLM linkage
- Real-time sharing of design and design change (EC) information through PLM & ERP interface
- Efficient sharing of drawings & simplification of design change (EC) processing procedures

Business and system advancement (SCM) for purchasing/logistics efficiency
- Step-by-step process management between purchase/outsourcing through SCM
- Sharing information with suppliers (parts information, delivery date, quality, etc)

Advancement of business plan & budget management to achieve business goals
- Version management according to business (order) plan changes
- (Sales) Order Forecast (Plan) and Order (Result) Management

Calculation of manufacturing cost and cost of sales for each equipment belonging to one project
- Establishment of a process capable of calculating the cost of sales by project unit number

Accurate communication with purchasing and outsourcing customers through SCM
- Organic information sharing with partners through SCM (quotation, purchase order, inspection, GR)

Calculation of reasonable cost by integrating GR/GI and unit price calculation by project
- It provides a function to identify all GR/GI by project for materials purchased in each project, a function to substitute project materials, and unit cost calculation for materials of each project
