Semiconductor Processing Plant Northwest

A major manufacturing company was experiencing two major issues at their main Santa Clara silicon semiconductor processing facility.  First, the facility suffered from chronic failures in the critical system environment equipment, and secondly, operating costs were rising.  As such, the company brought in ABM Engineering Services to address these issues, and to streamline their operations as a whole.

To combat the above issues, ABM brought the following steps to the table:

• Implemented a state-of-the-art, web-based preventive maintenance program
• Developed a formal training curriculum for all engineers, including detailed clean room procedure
• Restructured staffing to reduce technical staff from 42 to 33
• Provided an ISO-certified quality assurance program to improve accountability for preventive maintenance tasks

As a result of the above steps taken by ABM Engineering, operating costs were reduced immediately by 14%.  Thereafter, there was a 22% reduction in staffing costs.  Lastly, unplanned equipment shut-downs throughout the facility were reduced to less than 0.09% per year.  Clearly, this major manufacturing company achieved quantifiable benefits by utilizing ABM Engineering Services.
