The fast-evolving nature of the industry further complicates capacity planning, as manufacturers must anticipate and adapt to technology shifts while efficiently managing expensive production resources and capital investments. At Micron, capacity planning has become increasingly difficult and challenging due to rapid technological advancements, increasing number of parts and tool types, and demand volatility. These challenges underscore the importance of agile and data-driven capacity planning strategies that can adapt to a rapidly changing business landscape. The conventional way of using spreadsheets is versatile, however it has several disadvantages including limited problem size and being prone to human error. To address that, we have developed Fazer (Fab Analyzer) which uses Operations Research (OR) technologies to help Micron deliver consistent and optimize capacity decisions. Fazer has been adopted across all Micron fabs.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vikas Garg Senior Operations Research Analyst at Micron Technology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001140,"featured_media":0,"parent":712,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5563","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) -
