Semiconductor Industry is
the most volatile industry
with exposure to frequent
changes in technologies.
Everything about it undergoes
rapid change year after
year; it appears that Moore's
Law is working not only
for micro chips but its
variations work on chip
prices, chip making processes,
wafer sizes, semiconductor
equipments, even the way
in which semiconductor service
deals are made or anything
remotely associated with
the chip industry
|
Under
these circumstances, the
semiconductor industries
have to be one up in the
market to serve the customers
in the best possible manner.
Total Services Solutions
and Total Support Packages
are the innovative instruments
brought by the semiconductor
equipment manufacturers
who offer to produce the
chips anywhere anytime as
the changing supply and
demand situation demands
with minimum cost to the
ultimate consumers.
This in turn means that
efficient utilization of
spares inventory, production
capacity and logistics.
The state of the art equipments
control each of the processes
in the semiconductor industry
and sophisticated controllers
and monitors monitor these
parameters constantly. All
these devices have to talk
to each other in a common
language and act in accordance
with the needs of the business.
The enterprise as whole
will act in harmony to deliver
what the customer needs.
In fraction of seconds business
rules change, process capacities
contract or expand, demand
changes, availability of
spares undergoes variation;
all changes will have to
work with a common objective
of customer commitment and
customer revenue maximization.
And the whole thing is to
be in tune with the global
enterprise.
A software which can understand
the multiple languages of
machines, heterogeneous
business applications and
the common business objective
is a primary need in such
industry and it should be
capable of working under
changing rules and updated
scenarios. It should be
totally internet enabled
and is capable of handling
a myriad of protocols, operating
systems and communication
devices.
The only thing common will
be the parameters well defined
by the customer by way of
service level agreements
or packages which is nothing
but the translation of the
customer's business objectives
into legal conditions.
FIS technology framework
is the best fit to serve
the industry that obeys
the Moore Law. Its robust
rules engine provides the
flexibility to redefine
the business rules as often
as one could and yet keeps
track of the events and
its impact on business processes.
Its robust design serves
to meet the ever-changing
needs of global workplace
where appliances talk with
each other, keep themselves
updated with the new devices,
device based rules, user
requirement and everything
related to the service level
enforcement. The system
not only will have to handle
appliances under the control
of the enterprise but also
keep track of subcontracted
facilties.
Thus, FIS technology enables
the industry to maximize
its top line by keeping
the billable value to the
customer high , enables
online billing and handles
customer delivery acting
upon the contracts in every
way .
