This course has been offered in conjunction with SEMI® (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) SEMICON® tradeshows and onsite at private companies since 1992. You now have the opportunity to become an expert in Cost of Ownership (COO) and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) from the comfort of your office and at your own pace.
This free on-line class has been modified to make it more generic in nature while still using semiconductor manufacturing examples where appropriate (e.g., defect limited yield); however, manufacturers and suppliers from any industry can gain significant value from this course.
The course agenda is broken into seven sections over a 3-hour program and comes with a 185-page electronic workbook:
•Introduction
•Cost of Ownership Concept
•Cost of Ownership Details
•Applications
•Potential Misuses
•Advanced Applications & Areas of Sensitivity
