FLOW
Without this phsyical aspect, FLOW is not possible. This arranges workstations sequentially to allow uninterrupted, continuous material flow. The benefits of this concept is to minimize lead times, eliminate bottlenecks, and reduce cycle time, motion, and waiting.
What is FLOW Layout?
This breakthrough initiative's goal is to provide support to Proto Integration and reduce non-value added time of EUV Protos by 10%. It also aims to reduce non-value added time to Test Rigs by 50% by 2030.
What is BBAP? Be Better At Proto
In SPC (Statistical Process Control), Nelson Rule 1 is one data point outside the control limits. This SPC initiative to reduce variation uses the Lean Kit Board and email notifications to alert the team of violations of this to be dispostioned in 24 hours.
What is Nelson Rule 2 & 3?
This program aims to go through multiple phases and test cycles to ensure a successful Go-Live in Q1 of 2027. The result of this program will affect the entire San Diego site and global users in terms of where work gets recorded, how processes are enforced, how performances is measured, and how different teams stay aligned.
What is the ERP Migration?
This new department in San Diego Manufacturing Services (MFS) includes cleanroom services, contamination control and tooling and calibration. (also EUV & DUV tool center standardization).
What is Means & Methods?
You could would not want to "push" this method of production as it is strictly striggered by customer orders and reduces inventory, frees up capital, and minimizes storage costs.
What is a Pull System?
Labor Time Reduction, Reclaim Improvement, and Supply Chain Opportunities are all benefits from this EUV-focused breakthrough inititiative.
What is the 275 Bar DGA Cost Reduction?
This initiative is aimed to accelerate root cause insight,reduce cycle time and improve visibility into field issues and customer escapes for the Cymer team. This will also drive proactive solutions, prevents recurrences.
What is Cymer Failure Analysis Transformation?
SAP ECC will migrate to this next-generation ERP suite.
What is SAP S/4 Hana?
The goal of this initiative is to transfer essential knowledge to all members of the CF Team, including Production and ME groups. Next steps involve implementing actionable feedback from a recent Pilot session, delivering one session per month, track results, identify more gaps, and eventually provide to the KF team.
What is DUV Laser Training?
This LEAN manufacturing method is when products move through the production line without waiting in queues or being grouped into batches.
What is One-Piece/Continous FLOW?
Focusing on both Cymer Factory and Korea Factory, this breakthrough initiative focuses on work instruction and BOM remediation for scalable, disruption free production.
What is Manufacturing Master Data?
This program aims to connect and integrate CF's current system with the required systems for all ASML factories. Phase 1 of the project is to develop robust interfaces that connect the systems to each other. This will involve deep dives, fit gap analyses, and detailed mappings of how to itnegrate these two systems.
What is the Oracle to SAP EWM | ME - Phase 1 Program?
In Q3 2026 there will be a transfer project team established. In Q4 2027, the target is to produce first 275 bar DGA output. This invests in industrialization for manufacturing of the DGA in an additional location due to a wildfire or earthquake
What is Business Continuity?
This concept aims to have workstations operate at the same speed, often referred to as takt time, ensuring that parts progress smoothly without bottlenecking.
What is Line Balancing?
The goals of this breakthrough project are to achieve product/process standardization, ensure high quality output, enable customer satisfaction, and prepare for a specific certification.
What is ISO 9001 Readiness - Internal Assessments Program (IAP)?
To enable DUV to meet demand beyond 2030, this project will create a world-class work environment in SD4.
What is the CLS MFG Cleanroom Expansion?
With this standard and security awareness, ASML is strengthening how we manage information security, reduce risk and support secure ways of working across the factory.
What is ISO 27001?
Multiple FLOW improvements have begun in this CF module area including FLOW line pilots, collaborative robot demos, 5S+1 implementation, Lean Kit Heijunka development, and OJT FLOW lego training.
What is SSPPM Model Area?
This breathrough initative aims to bring the price of a specific EUV material down from a standard price of $2,611.58 per piece.
What is 3800 HPDGA Capillary Cost Reduction?
In SPC, this is nine (or more) points in a row on the same side of the mean. This can Indicates a process shift
What is Nelson Rule 2?
ASML aims to achieve a positive social impact through this program. The objectives consist of having communities benefit from and contribute to ASML's long-term success, have employees be proud of their positive contribution to society, and have robust governance increase impact.
What is the Community Partnership Program (CPP)?
The goal of this is initiative is to be ISO9001 audit ready by assessing the current way of working, identify and address gaps and improving our ability to produce high-quality cost-competitive products.
What is IAP (Internal Assessment Program)?
