Allegro, NXP, and International Rectifier Share the Six Keys to Lower Risk Replacement of Manufacturing Systems
In a new Semiconductor Industry brief, leaders in Semiconductor manufacturing share best practices for replacing legacy manufacturing systems.
Given that the MES guides production, which is the foundation of revenue-generating activities, replacement of these fundamental systems is a high risk endeavor. The fact remains, however, that legacy systems have aged and newer systems can deliver greater value including:
Improved Product Quality
Higher Process Yields
Lower Cost of Ownership
Agility and Flexibility to Respond to Market Needs
Greater Ability to Leverage and Correlate Information
For many facilities, the risk of inaction is higher than risk of replacement and the time to change is now. Semiconductor MES replacement projects must focus on keeping high up-time and delivering real value. NXP, Allegro, and International Rectifier have all recently engaged in replacement projects and point to six keys to successful, low-risk replacement.
Find out their keys to success.
