Introduction Quick Bio Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, Purdue University, 1994 i2 Technologies(now JDA Software), 1994-2005 Intel Corporation, 2005-Present Career (and some of childhood) dedicated to planning
Introduction • Supply Chain Decision Solution (SCDS) Group • Part of Customer Fulfillment, Planning and Logistics Group • We build decision support tools that drive the supply chain planning processes within Intel • Common Technical Platform • Well-integrated to Enterprise/Factory Systems • Large Scale Math Modeling/Optimization • Deep bench with wide-range of skills • Software Engineers, Operations Research Engineers • Right mix of expertise in Intel business, industry best practices, and math modeling and optimization techniques 3
Introduction The content builds on previously presented/published material Advanced Planning and Scheduling Systems: The Quest to Leverage ERP for Better Planning, Chapter in Planning in the Extended Enterprise: A State of the Art Handbook; Springer (2011). Emergence and Evolution of Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) Systems , Workshop on Planning Production and Inventories in the Extended Enterprise at North Carolina State University (2008) Mostly from a solution provider’s point of view Today’s focus is on Intel’s journey in the last 10 years to build a world class Master Production Scheduling solution
Agenda • Supply Chain Planning Decisions • Master Production Scheduling (MPS) • Definition and Challenges • Industry Approach to MPS • Intel’s Approach to MPS 5
Supply Chain Planning Decisions How do I align capacity to my demand? What do I build at How do I react to each factory? changes in the Strategic factory/demand? Planning Master Production Tactical Scheduling Planning Data Granularity DETAILED AGGREGATE Planning Granularity SHIFT/DAY MONTH/QUARTER Planning Horizon LONG SHORT Planning Frequency LOW HIGH 6
Master Production Scheduling Problem “Optimize” Supply to Meet Demand Across the Entire Manufacturing Network All Stages: Wafer Starts, Assembly/Test Starts, Finish Outs All manufacturing locations – internal/external Considering capacity constraints, material availability, inventory targets and other supply chain constraints by stage Unique Challenges • Trend towards longer Front End (Fab/Sort) and shorter Back End (Assy/Test) lead times • Increased product complexity • Increased supply chain complexity • Evolving customer landscape and expectations • Varying product mixes (high volume/low margin, low volume/high margin) 7
Industry Approach Most large semiconductor companies have chosen their solution providers • All align to an ERP company for the enterprise backbone (SAP/Oracle) • Most use a Best of Breed strategy (primarily JDA) for MPS solutions • Some use offerings from partner ERP companies • These are typically fabless semiconductor companies with a simpler planning problem • Intel is the only exception among the large semiconductor companies • Develop in-house solutions Acknowledgment: Thanks to Puneet Saxena, VP Manufacturing Planning, JDA Software, for information on the latest state of the master production scheduling in semiconductor industry.
Intel’s Approach: Breaking the Problem Down Wafer A/T A/T FG Starts Request Response Response • Fab • Near-Term • A/T Capacity • A/T Capacity Die Feasible Feasible and Die Capacity • Product • Product Feasible Feasible • Product level Family level Family level • Breaks the problem between Front End and Back End (different lead times, different strategies) • Breaks the problem along organizational boundaries • Breaks the problem to manageable subsets which can be optimized efficiently • Provides the opportunity for faster planning cycles • Allows analysis of multiple business scenarios • Supports the decision making process 9

Lessons Learned • Understand the business needs • Go at a speed the business can absorb • Pay attention to ALL components of the planning solution • Data infrastructure, data availability/quality • User interfaces/reports, analysis/explain-ability of results • Mathematical modeling and optimization alone do not solve the problem
