Course details
Supply Chain Management: This unit covers the fundamental principles of supply chain management, including demand planning, inventory management, and logistics. It provides an understanding of the semiconductor industry's unique supply chain requirements and the importance of efficient supply chain management in meeting customer demands. •
Process Mapping and Analysis: This unit focuses on the use of process mapping and analysis techniques to identify areas for improvement in the semiconductor supply chain. It covers tools such as value stream mapping, fishbone diagrams, and Pareto analysis to identify root causes of problems and opportunities for improvement. •
Lean Six Sigma: This unit introduces the principles of Lean Six Sigma, a methodology for process improvement that combines the efficiency of Lean with the statistical tools of Six Sigma. It covers the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) framework and how to apply it to improve supply chain processes. •
Supplier Selection and Management: This unit covers the critical aspects of supplier selection and management in the semiconductor industry. It includes topics such as supplier evaluation criteria, contract management, and supplier development programs. •
Quality Management Systems: This unit focuses on the implementation and maintenance of quality management systems (QMS) in the semiconductor supply chain. It covers ISO 9001, TS 16949, and IATF 16949, and how to apply these standards to improve quality and reduce costs. •
Inventory Management and Control: This unit covers the principles of inventory management and control in the semiconductor supply chain. It includes topics such as inventory classification, inventory valuation, and inventory optimization techniques. •
Supply Chain Risk Management: This unit focuses on the identification and mitigation of supply chain risks in the semiconductor industry. It covers topics such as supply chain vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and risk mitigation strategies. •
Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR): This unit introduces the principles of CPFR, a collaborative approach to demand planning and inventory management. It covers how to apply CPFR to improve forecast accuracy, reduce inventory levels, and improve supply chain responsiveness. •
Supply Chain Visibility and Transparency: This unit covers the importance of supply chain visibility and transparency in the semiconductor industry. It includes topics such as supply chain mapping, supply chain tracking, and supply chain reporting. •
Process Improvement Tools and Techniques: This unit covers a range of process improvement tools and techniques, including root cause analysis, fishbone diagrams, and the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle. It provides an understanding of how to apply these tools and techniques to improve supply chain processes.
