Abstract
Moore's Law indicates that the amount of transistors which can be accommodated on integrated circuit (IC) double every two years in semiconductor manufacturing industry. As a capital intensive and competitive industry, supply chains in the semiconductor industry feature high structural complexity and high demand uncertainty. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the enterprise, total resource management (TRM) for semiconductor industry is increasingly crucial. Past studies focused on measuring the effectiveness of either demand fulfillment or capacity utilization, but little researches have done for investigating the inter-coordination on both aspects. This paper proposes overall supply chain effectiveness (OSCE) for the incorporation of demand planning and capacity portfolio based on PDCCCR framework to evaluate the effectiveness of semiconductor supply chain industry. The proposed index is implemented in an empirical study based on a simulation model for semiconductor backend production. Finally, the paper concludes with the discussion of future research directions.
