Taiwanese memory packaging and testing factories include Powertech, ChipMOS, ASE, SPIL, Walton and FATC. The global three first tier giants, Samsung Electronics, Hynix and Micron, have predicted that the DRAM market in 2014 will be more stable. With the three-giant monopolization taking shape, the strategic alliance and corresponding excess profits of back-end packaging factories are expected to be...
The aim of this present paper is to evaluate network sustainability applying a quantitative model based on the integration of LCA data with discrete simulation. For this purpose, different scenarios have been defined by collecting several product-chain data as an attempt to develop a formalized approach to share information within networks. As preliminary step, the supply chain environmental impact...
Centralized purchasing is one of trends of procurement activity in supply chain surrounding. By a empirical analysis, this paper reveals supplier bidding mechanism and factors which decide price. Based on price attraction impedance, a gaming model is established between two suppliers as competitors each other, which shows factors of price, experience and supply ability is core competence for procurement.
In the present work the current supply chain of the company has been thoroughly studied to sort out the excess inventory related problem and a new model of supply chain of the company has been proposed with recommendations. A demand forecasting analysis has been done for solving inventory pileup problem in the store. The Bullwhip effect is quantified and recommendations are given to reduce variation...
The ESD protection program set up in the electronics manufacturing facilities especially in China region (evident but not limited to that area) appears to have common weaknesses. They have a lot of ESD protection in place but do not know whether this is the right method at the right place. Nevertheless they have enough backup solutions in place so that they can handle ESDS without big problems. With...
Today's situation in manufacturing enterprises is characterized by unpredictability, high-frequency market changes and a turbulent environment. Changing order situation leads to new requirements with regard to output capacity. To some extent, companies have to meet contrary targets in order to stay competitive. These major targets are quality, cost and time. To achieve these targets in a balanced...
This paper discusses three case studies where graduate students worked alongside undergraduate students on projects suggested by local companies. In the first case, graduate students were assigned to work in teams with undergraduate students, and later continued the project to fulfill both company expectations and publication of a conference paper. In the second case, a graduate student who had previously...
The competitiveness of an enterprise depends not only on its internal performance to produce products and services but also on its ability to seamlessly interoperate with other enterprises. External and internal collaborative work needs more interoperable solutions. How to enhance interoperability between stakeholders and improve efficiency of supply chain management is the key issue that needs to...
Reverse logistics has become an important entity in the world economy. Nonetheless, many companies are not capable of or are unwilling to enter the reverse logistics market. Such reluctance appears to be attributed to lack of knowledge of reverse logistics. With the emergence of new type of electronic product, it brings a lot of electronic wastes. There are lots of deleterious materials in these wastes,...
Consideration is given to achieving organisational sustainability through a holistic, integrated and multi stakeholderspsila participative approach. The notion of ldquooptimizing production processesrdquo to achieve sustainability is not sufficient since most of the unsustainable processes are found outside the certified manufacturing facility. Achieving sustainability requires a holistic consideration...
