  • Upgrade an aging enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to synchronize the company's branches that process materials used to manufacture components
  • Deploy a system that helps improve manufacturing resource planning across the entire organization
  • Reduce the number of product naming rules to make it easier for staff to search for integrated circuit products and minimize the risk of manufacturing errors
