DCHiPS | Fabricating Better Performance

2

The semiconductor industry is vastly different from traditional manufacturing in many ways. But when timelines are tight and customer demand is volatile, familiar principles apply—and the need for accurate inventory, forecasting, and demand and supply planning comes to the forefront. Fab and fabless chip makers don’t just need information technology systems that support nimble decision-making—they need information systems that are nimble in their own development, deployment, and adaptation.

Whether they operate on a fabless basis or see their own designs through to delivery, these innovative companies need to adopt specialized controls not only for their supply chains, but also for outsourcing, contracting, lot management, lot traceability, and channel management.

Semiconductor companies can’t just turn to anyone to undertake such a transformation. They need to collaborate with a team of skilled professionals with a reliable track record—one that can help achieve a cost-effective and tailored system that meets a company’s specific needs.

Deloitte Consulting’s Semiconductor Preconfigured Solution (DCHiPS) builds on the SAP® best practice baseline and Deloitte’s Enterprise Value Delivery (EVDTM) methodology. The DCHiPS IndustryPrint® outlines an end-to-end set of predefined business process models

that reflect leading practices in the semiconductor industry. Our powerful dual approach focuses 60 to 70 percent on the core business processes considered most critical to the semiconductor industry, and tailor the remaining 30 to 40 percent of our work to company-specific performance, customers, and compliance requirements.

Just as chip technology has made electronic devices faster, more powerful, and more reliable, many semiconductor companies also need state of the art information systems to power their own evolving business needs.

A solution as specialized as the work it supports

DCHiPS, an SAP Business All-in-One certified solution, is primed to handle key scenarios involving master data and transactional data in a way that preserves flexibility while giving companies a starting point leagues ahead of the empty whiteboard.

DCHiPS stands at the critical node where a company’s deliverables repository and its methods, tools, and accelerators intersect with preconfigured SAP ECC, SAP APO, and SAP CRM systems, as well

as SAP Ariba®, OpenText, and SAP BRIM. From that position, it helps with the

functions that are most critical to chip makers, including:

• Demand and supply planning

• Speed and down binning

• Outsourced and subcontracted manufacturing

• Outsource assembly and test (OSAT) B2B tracking

• Lot management with enhanced lot attributes

• Lot traceability and genealogy

• CRM channel management

Because we offer a preconfigured solution specific to the semiconductor industry, Deloitte Consulting and SAP are positioned to help semiconductor companies improve performance, increase revenues, and grow.

How we can help

DCHiPS is designed to give chip makers an end-to- end solution that lets them run their business on a single platform.

Bottom-line benefits

With better information to drive inventory planning, companies can reduce their inventory holdings. And with implementation time reduced from a traditional standard of 18 months to as few as nine months, they can be confident they’re using one of the most advanced industry practices available. The result is a scalable solution with deployment flexibility, predictable and lower total ownership costs, embedded industry-leading practices, and increased time-to-benefit.

With more than 50 industry-specific configurations, 12 semiconductor-specific processes, and transaction-based user guides and recordings along with multiple accelerators and custom augmentations, DCHiPS can provide tangible benefits:

• Tested implementation that reduces risks through our demonstrated, repeatable approach

• Reduced time-to-value by leveraging preconfigured, industry specific business processes in SAP and facilitating a “why not?” discussion to finalize the scope and decrease the implementation time period

• Time and money savings when you initiate implementations at 60 to 70 percent completion—which allows you to focus on what matters and spend time on your key differentiators while adopting industry best-in-class processes

• Faster user adoption by emphasizing deployability and user experience

• Strong capability transfer to project team by using a dedicated and

experienced delivery team with a global presence

• Reduced uncertainty thanks to a tested implementation approach and by starting with a fully documented, working prototype and by providing access to our “Test Drive” instance to give a touch and feel experience of the end-state system

• An effective solution based on Deloitte’s collective high-tech industry experience, which is expressed not only in the DCHiPS solution itself but also in our complementary high-tech business process model

“The result is a scalable solution with deployment flexibility, predictable and lower total ownership costs, embedded industry-leading practices, and increased time-to-benefit.”

Do somethingDCHiPS is a powerful choice for tying together and streamlining core processes you rely on. While you’re evaluating that choice, here’s one option you can eliminate: going without. The speed, complexity, and information needs of your operations have outgrown back-of-the-envelope integration.

Be scalableWhatever system you implement, you’ll have to be able to effectively address changes and exceptions in the supply chain. Make sure your processes and tools don’t lock you into a fixed approach.

Be realisticEven the most effective implementation has a cost to weigh against its benefits. Start with a business case for the criticality and impact of the solution you want—and

a budget for how to get there. And prepare the organization to be ready at every touch point to accept and embrace the change.

Know thyselfAccurate master data supports reporting integrity. When you have a strong master data governance process, you can rely on the reports that underpin your decisions. The first step is to determine how clean your data is. Then you’ll know which readiness activities you need to build the clean, consistent, accurate data that makes for a smooth conversion.

Know your goalIf you can substantiate current-state performance gaps and clearly define opportunities, you’ll have a basis for designing your solution—and a firm handle on your baseline project goals and objectives.

To understand what your needs are now, there are a few actions that can help you understand the state of your business and the trajectory you are aiming for with an IT solution.
