Coordinating Strategic Capacity Planning in the Semiconductor Industry

Abstract: We study strategic capacity planning in the semiconductor industry. Working with a major US semiconductor manufacturer on the configuration of their worldwide production facilities, we identify two unique characteristics of this problem as follows: (1) wafer demands and manufacturing capacity are both main sources of uncertainty, and (2) capacity planning must consider the distinct viewpoints from marketing and manufacturing. We formulate a multi-stage stochastic program with demand and capacity uncertainties.… Show more

“…They use a robust approach avoiding the inherent complexities in a nonlinear stochastic formulation. Karabuk and Wu (1999) develop a strategic capacity planning model for a major semi-conductor manufacturer. They formulate a multi-stage stochastic program with recourses, where demand and capacity uncertainties are incorporated via a scenario structure.…”

“…For example, Eppen et al (1989) model the strategic capacity-planning problem of a major automobile manufacturer using a stochastic programming approach based on demand scenarios; Escudero and Kamesam (1995) solved a scenario-based stochastic production-planning problem with demand uncertainty; Karabuk and Wu (1999) formulated a multistage stochastic program for a capacity-planning problem for a major semi-conductor manufacturer in which demand and capacity uncertainties were incorporated via a scenario structure.…”

“…It is common in the ind ustry to set the target at as high as 90%. For further discussion of the utilization target, see (Karabuk and Wu, 1999). The second stage objective is defined by the underage or overage adjustments from the PM request under each senario s ∈S 2 .…”
