CAPACITY PLANNING CHALLENGES IN A GLOBAL PRODUCTION NETWORK WITH AN . . . In the global, volatile semiconductor market classical capacity planning approaches need to be improved to stay competitive Resource bottlenecks constrain production, limit the availability of finished product which can be promised to the customer and cause different utilization levels Bottlenecks may vary periodically due to changes in supply and demand One bottleneck can have an impact on
Semiconductor supply chain resilience and disruption: insights . . . 1 1 Semiconductor supply chain disruptions The Semiconductor Supply Chain (SSC) is a type of critical infrastructure that underpins the global technology industry (Callarman et al Citation 2004), enabling the production and distribution of semiconductors essential for a wide range of electronic devices, from smartphones to medical equipment to automobiles
The Global Semiconductor Chip Shortage: Causes, Implications, and . . . Due to the SSC being highly globalized, disruptions happening in one region may cause bottlenecks in other region, (SIA, 2020) 3 3 Geopolitical Issues Geopolitical tensions have globally risen in the past decade In July 2019, Japan imposed restrictions on exports to South Korea following Korean court rulings against some Japanese businesses

LOCALIZING THE GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR VALUE CHAIN - Arthur D. Little In the global semiconductor supply chain, Figure 5 illustrates a typical journey of a smartphone application processor A complex and interconnected global network of partners remains essential for producing a single semiconductor chip The supply chain for semiconductor production remains deeply interdependent on a global scale International
[PDF] Solving volume and capacity planning problems in semiconductor . . . It turns out that the number of modeled bottleneck is not crucial and that the approach can treat noisy demand data appropriately, suggesting a linear programming formulation that allows for solving volume and capacity planning problems in semiconductor manufacturing systems In this paper, we suggest a linear programming formulation that allows for solving volume and capacity planning
Coordinating Strategic Capacity Planning in the Semiconductor Industry . . . We study strategic capacity planning in the semiconductor industry Working with a major US semiconductor manufacturer on the configuration of their worldwide production facilities, we identify two unique characteristics of this problem as follows: (1) wafer demands and manufacturing capacity are both main sources of uncertainty, and (2) capacity planning must consider the distinct viewpoints
Capacity Planning of the Semiconductors Manufacturing Supply Chain: A . . . The semiconductors manufacturing involves complex supply chains Because of highly dynamic market demand and limited available production capacity, the operations plan of semiconductors industry must well consider the capacity collaboration between multiple production plants in terms of front-end wafer fabrication and back-end packaging and testing Based on the Advanced Planning Systems (APS
