Dot 3rd Eye’s association with ON Semiconductor began during the summer of 2005 and extended for nearly three years. It began as an engagement relating to a specific problem in allocation management but then blossomed into a very productive long-term relationship where we worked as an outsourced R&D service to ON Semi’s Global Supply Chain Organization, providing thought leadership on a wide range of projects, each designed to make ON Semi’s supply chain more responsive and profitable. Projects ranged from Allocation Management, Inventory Management, and Optimization of Capacity Utilization. (For details of these projects, please click on the links to the left.)

The following presentation should be a useful primer for those not familiar with supply chain management in semiconductor manufacturing. (Please click to advance through the slides.)
