We had great results (increased employee satisfaction, decreased cost, in 1 year we got to the fastest CT for a 200mm Fab in the world) and were doing a lot with Lean, TPM, Queuing theory, etc. Proliferation of this has started in the Intel factory network but, unfortunately, just as our plant was getting to the "fun part" of the flywheel really turning, the Executive Team shut the plant down and outsourced the product to the Far East. It remains to be seen whether the remaining factories in the network and other divisions pick up the Lean torch (obviously, seeing the leading Lean factory get shut down doesn't provide the best incentive) but I know some very talented people in the organization are still fighting the good fight to get it going throughout the corporation."Ralph Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872065446489560244noreply@blogger.com
