FLOW
You would not want to "push" this method of production as it is strictly triggered by customer orders and reduces inventory, frees up capital, and minimizes storage costs.
What is a Pull System?
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)
The initiative "Making EUV More Affordable", this is planned to be reduced to less than 5% by the end of 2026 and be at 0% in 2030.
What are DOAs? (Dead on Arrival)
To enable DUV to meet demand beyond 2030, this project will create a world-class work environment in SD4.
What is the CLS/CF/Cymer MFG Cleanroom Expansion? (Phase 2)
This team works towards minimizing the likelihood of disruptive events from occurring and effectively prepares factories to manage the potential impact of a crisis event.
What is Business Compliance?
This "arranges" workstations sequentially to allow uninterrupted, continuous material flow. The benefits of this arrangement are to minimize lead times, eliminate bottlenecks, and reduce cycle time, motion, and waiting.
What is Layout for Variable Work Cycles?
Through the BBAP initiative, the team implemented visual indicators to show required action (colored dots on MN paperwork and colored cones) and defined roles and responsibilities in this area.
What is Defect Alley?
In SPC, this is nine (or more) points in a row on the same side of the mean. This can indicate a process shift.
What is Nelson Rule 2?
ESG 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 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 "continuously" move through the production line and gives a good overview of the job status.
What is One-Piece 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 project using Nelson Rules 2 and 3 Violation Tracking through email notification and LeanKit Board is a part of the Quality Step Up initiatitve and aims to define and standardize work flow processes.
What is Reducing Variation by SPC?
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 performance is measured, and how different teams stay aligned.
What is the ERP Migration?
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. SF and CF will have their audit on this from September 8-11.
What is ISO 27001?
This concept aims to "level" workstations to operate at the same speed, ensuring that parts progress smoothly without bottlenecking.
What is Line Balancing?
Labor Time Reduction, Reclaim Improvement, Supply Chain Opportunities are benefits from this breakthrough initiative for the following:
- NQT Automation
- DGA Cost Optimization
- HPDGA Capillary Cost Reduction
What is Making EUV More Affordable?
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 and prevent recurrences.
What is Cymer Failure Analysis Transformation?
SAP ECC will migrate to this next-generation ERP suite.
What is SAP S/4 Hana?
This change will establish a "B" location in the Netherlands to split demand. This invests in industrialization for manufacturing in an additional location due to a wildfire or earthquake.
What is Dual Manufacturing Strategy?
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?
The goals of this breakthrough project for CF 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 reduce training time, quality excursions, process variation, and dependence on undocumented institutional knowledge, a standard of purpose and requirements are being created with stakeholder feedback in this quality step up initiative.
What is CF Work Instructions Standard Creation?
This program aims to connect and integrate CF's current ERP 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 integrate these two systems.
What is the Oracle to SAP EWM | ME - Phase 1 Program?
As part of Business Continuity, a transfer team will be established in Q3 of 2026. In Q4 of 2027, the target is to produce this "older" module.
What is 275 Bar DGA?
