Abstract
Four benchmark companies are selected from both Foundry and IDM segments in Taiwan for this study as business cases to analyze the evolution of information system in semiconductor industry. From this study, an implementation strategy is proposed to solve the issues and challenges they may encounter during the implementation. And finally a system trend called GRP and its architecture are suggested and interpreted to help those companies which will face the drastic future competition after their ERP implementation. The major findings are summarized as below:
The evolution of the information system of wafer manufacturing is organized as three periods, namely; (1) pre-ERP period – each division develops its own MIS system, (2) ERP period – cross division resource integration planning, and (3) post-ERP Period– Cross supply chain integration from research and development to collaboration of end market.
The issues and challenges encountered during the ERP implementation of wafer manufacturing companies are identified and explained. An effective strategy of ERP implementation, which is to outsource the implementation work to the experienced consulting firm and be conducted in a manner of phase-in approach, is recommended. Employing this strategy, those companies can overcome the difficulties of the implementation and achieve the objectives of the project.
In the end, two types of GRP system architecture are presented: such as (1) Cluster GRP, and (2) Full GRP. The jump from ERP to GRP represents a significant raise of competitiveness in the industry and the excellence in market operations as well.
