Develop and maintain constrained views that translate demand into prioritized wafer plans under limited capacity scenarios, enabling rapid “plan-on-plan” comparisons and scenario-based decision support. - Automation and Efficiency Strength
Test and implementation of new models and systems used in wafer planning
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Proven experience in semiconductor supply chain or related planning role
- Proven success in capacity planning, process and program management capability
