Abstract :
Four central principles for competitive semiconductor manufacturing are: described. These are (1) continuous measurable improvements, (2) statistical thinking, (3) constraint-focus, and (4) people development/empowerment. Total productive maintenance, a solution to the problem of low equipment reliability, is discussed
