The complexity of managing a diverse and fast-evolving product portfolio, with intricate specifications, limited substitutability, and high certification demands, has led to a supply chain dilemma where shortages and excess inventories exist side by side.

The coexistence of distribution and direct sales of semiconductor products worldwide makes it difficult to effectively manage distribution channels and terminals. This leads to difficulties in responding to, supporting, and serving customers on time, ultimately resulting in lower customer satisfaction and loyalty.

R&D for semiconductor and integrated circuit products is technically demanding, with high verification requirements. The R&D and trial production periods are long, often resulting in failure, project delays, and uncontrollable costs.

High-end materials and equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing are affected by political sanctions, import dependence, and other factors, causing supply chain instability and a bullwhip effect. This leads to material shortages in kitting and ultimately causes delays in order fulfillment.

Driven by strong demand and policy support, the semiconductor industry is rapidly expanding. Yet, coordinating integrated planning across multiple organizations, factories, shop floors, operations, and the broader supply chain remains a major challenge, leading to imbalanced utilization of production resources.

Production and subcontract processes lack transparency, causing difficulties in production scheduling. Various exceptions prevent plans from being completed on time, which in turn affects order delivery.

Information gaps or incomplete data make quality control and detailed full-chain traceability difficult, which in turn makes it difficult to control the production yield and leads to unnecessary losses.

Only simple costing is conducted, which fails to effectively identify cost reduction opportunities or achieve cost reduction targets.
