Responsibilities:

1. Capacity Planning & Demand Matching

• Develop and maintain the fab-wide plant capacity model, ensuring alignment with customer wafer demand and tool input requirements.
• Analyze capacity gaps and proactively initiate actions to close them.
• Partner with process modules to ensure equipment readiness ahead of production needs to meet customer required dates.

2. Equipment Utilization & Productivity

• Calculate and monitor equipment capacity utilization across all fab modules.
• Identify equipment bottlenecks and lead productivity improvement programs.
• Collaborate with the maintenance team to track and improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

3. Cycle Time Reduction

•  Calculate the intrinsic cycle time of the fab (ideal processing time without queueing).
• Work with manufacturing and process engineering teams to reduce cycle time and improve throughput.

4. Tool Redundancy & Fab Stability

• Collaborate with process owners to implement redundancy plans for critical tools to enhance fab stability and resilience.

5. Layout Planning & Space Management

• Act as the Industrial Engineering lead for tool layout and fab space planning:
• Identify space for new equipment and coordinate with facilities and equipment teams for tool installation.
• Create and update AutoCAD tool layouts, ensuring all tools and utilities are properly marked and documented.
• Maintain accurate records of tool placement and space utilization.

6. Staff Support & HR Coordination

• Work with HR and operations teams to manage seating arrangements for staff across SP2 and external office spaces.

Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs

Requirements:
