Abstract :
Knowing the current labor needs of your fab is an awareness; knowing the labor needs of your fab in the future is a science and an art. Keeping accurate and up-to-date labor modeling is vital to the health of a manufacturing organization, especially in a highly cost-competitive environment. AMD´s Fab 25 recognizes the need to understand the labor components in our cost structure and the necessity to control this delicate element. Using both an analytical and research approach to a difficult problem, we successfully built a labor model for Fab 25
