“…Three barriers to integration were identified as the most recurrent in the literature: high implementation costs [32,44,45,82], technological incompatibility [36,[83][84][85], and extended learning curves [75,[86][87][88]. Other relevant barriers were identified and are listed in Table 5.…”

“…Technological feasibility-Barriers in this category include technical aspects affecting IT systems' horizontal and vertical integration in the context of I4.0 and their cooperation with LSS tools and techniques [81,83]. In this regard, insufficient or poorly designed IT infrastructure can be seen as the primary obstacle to this purpose [26,32,45,86].…”

In recent years, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has been a recurrent theme in the literature on Lean Six Sigma (LSS), given the synergies that can arise from their combination. However, their joint implementation presents several challenges. In this article, a systematic literature review (SLR) of research on I4.0 and LSS integration was performed. This review involved five database platforms and included seventy-four articles providing state-of-the-art knowledge on the topic, focusing on the barriers to and enablers of integration. As a result, 20 integration barriers were identified, highlighting the high implementation cost, long learning curve, and technology incompatibility as the main barriers. Seventeen enablers were found to facilitate and guarantee implementation success, highlighting investment in IT infrastructure and employee training, stakeholder involvement, and top management support. In addition, the article discusses actions to facilitate I4.0 and LSS integration in practice, determined by connecting the identified enablers to their corresponding barriers. Finally, the SLR identifies several avenues for future research.

“…Semiconductor firms are capital intensive. It means that capacity utilization significantly affects the capital effectiveness and profitability of semiconductor firms [55][56][57]. The capital intensiveness is reasoned by the tremendous investment on complex processes of research and development (R&D) with rising costs required, the necessity of economy of scale, and the costs to upgrading plants or building new ones [58].…”

Resilience emphasizes the recovery capability of a firm after an event of disruption. This paper proposes a framework in constructing a knowledge warehouse (KW) to increase a semiconductor assembly and testing firm's resilience by using a backcasting approach, which consists of four steps to form the development cycles. In each cycle, the goal for moving towards resilience is set up. The second step is to identify the baseline problems. Several potential paths to reach the goal from the baseline are then analyzed. Finally, a proper path supporting the performance of specific activities (plan) is selected and further added to the KW. Therefore, any possible conflict caused from bringing in new knowledge to the existing KW should be examined and resolved. The KW is augmented through cycles. Two case studies (Earthquake and typhoon disruptions) are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework. Furthermore, discussions also refer to how Nissan and Renesas responded to a 9.0 earthquake in 2011 and to a world-class major provider of semiconductor assembly and testing services in developing its KW. At the end, several recommendations have been made for firms to prepare for resilience. Some related future research topics are also proposed.INDEX TERMS Supply chain resilience, semiconductor, knowledge warehouse, backcasting, case study.
