Session 2: Wafer Starts Planning - The Disconnect Between Planning and Execution and How to Fix It
Thursday, September 18, 2025
About the event
Across the semiconductor industry, fab are working hard to plan more effectively, deliver on time, and improve day-to-day decisions. But too often, critical processes—like wafer starts planning, morning meetings, and making delivery commitments—are bogged down by manual work and reactive problem-solving. Spreadsheets and static capacity models remain widely used, resulting in days of manual work and reactive firefighting when plans break down. Over the course of this 3-part webinar series, we’ll show you there’s a smarter way to plan.

In session 3, we’ll focus on how fabs can significantly boost the effectiveness of morning meetings with high-value actions and quantified impact:
- Why cross-team operations in fabs are fragmented, with reactive decisions based on manual processes, static capacity, and tribal knowledge.
- How working in siloes with limited visibility and heavy reliance on back-and-forth communication leads to inefficiencies and sacrificed KPIs.
- How introducing a one-stop-shop solution for all steps helps align teams, identify issues, suggest and prioritise actions based on quantified impacts, and assign actions to team members with the correct skill set.
