| dc.description.abstract | The study focuses on a single department in a wafer foundry business where the product goes through multiple passes through each department before completing the manufacturing cycle. The study plan is to uncover how the equipment uptime performance can be improved to help the company achieve the required production numbers.The analysis uses the Fishbone and why-why analysis to uncover the true root cause of the poor tool uptime performance, the benchmarking tool for comparing human capital numbers with a neighbouring wafer production facility and consolidates the findings using Input-Process-Outpout (IPO) model for a complete picture of the problem. The IPO model (McGarth 1964) gives a comprehensive view of a teams interactions and outcomes. Source of information has been primary data from the companies internal equipment indices and interview with the relevant parties. The findings can be related to the theory of human capital development and the need for balancing proactive activities of improvments to reactive activities of fixing issues.This study provides a comprehensive analysis of a teams working using the IPO model so that the true root causes are addressed instead of syptomatic causes. The recommendations have a learning curve with a slower short term gain but a greater long term gain by building the correct culture. | en_US |
