VIS and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Cofound "Intelligent Manufacturing and Management Laboratory"

Date:2022-06-17

Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation announced today that the company cofounded the "Intelligent Manufacturing and Management Laboratory" with Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), incubating for the semiconductor industry digital transformation talents. The two parties held a plaque unveiling ceremony this afternoon, where NCYU Department of Industrial Engineering and Management's Professor Chang Yung-Chia, the head of the lab, and Professor Chen Sheng-I, and VIS Associate Vice President of Information Technology and Intelligence Management, Dr. Jonathan Chang, jointly unveiled the plaque.

"Semiconductor manufacturing is the most complicated among all the manufacturing industries in the world. The fully automated system established over the past 30 years has enabled semiconductor manufacturing to achieve the speed, order fill rate, quality, productivity, and cost advantage and competitiveness today," said Dr. Jonathan Chang, VIS Associate Vice President, Information Technology and Intelligence Management. "However, with continued innovation of technology and the unique characteristic of high-mix low-volume (HMLV) production, the entire supply chain still goes through changes every now and then. In addition to solving manufacturing variations on production lines, we are also proactively seeking a digital transformation model in the age of Indy 4.0, to continually enhance intelligent forecasting and decision-making throughout the entire eco-chain. Through the industry-academia collaboration with Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, NYCU, we look forward to this lab leveraging the power of new digital intelligence to sustain and expand the successful experience and influences of Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing and management, and incubate more Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing talents equipped with new digital management capabilities."

"Semiconductor is an industry where industrial engineering can play a key and effective role, and many alumni of the department occupy important positions in the industry," said Professor Chang Yung-Chia, the head of the lab. "Through cofounding the lab with VIS, we hope to bridge the industry and academia, jointly striving for the R&D and talent incubation of Taiwan's semiconductor industry."

VIS is a leading specialty IC foundry service provider, and has invested in intelligent manufacturing and management for years. Since joining the industry-academia cooperation with NYCU in 2020, the two parties have completed a number of projects that effectively enhanced the decision-making quality and efficiency of fab production management. This laboratory will deepen the two parties' long-term partnership and further develop the research achievements of the close cooperation in recent years, enhancing intelligent forecasting and decision-making capabilities through digital transformation; at the same time, the two parties engage in mutually-benefiting exchange, where industry experts from VIS serve as lecturers and share practical situations in semiconductor manufacturing and issues of digital transformation, and NYCU scholars introduce latest theories and trends of intelligent manufacturing and management, to jointly incubate semiconductor manufacturing and management talents with sound theoretical and practical knowledge for Taiwan, closing the gap between the industry and academia.
