Short Course: Statistical Methods
Tuesday, October 21 • (time TBD)
Details to come soon.
Short Course: Understanding LEED®
Tuesday, October 21 • 8AM-5PM
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System is a comprehensive design and assessment tool that helps architecture, engineering and construction professionals improve building efficiency and measure the sustainability of their projects.
Understanding LEED® is an important step for reducing a building’s environmental impacts and achieving superior economic performance. Architects, engineers, facility managers and building owners who master LEED® concepts and processes become knowledgeable practitioners of sustainable facility design and construction. This full day course is great preparation for high-tech facility LEED® projects and will prepare attendees for LEED® Accredited Professional Exam.

Short Course: Factory Simulation
Tuesday, October 21 • 8AM-NOON
This 4-hour short course provides an introduction to factory simulation and cost modeling for non-modeling personnel.
The course will include an overview of factory simulation, demonstration of discrete-event simulation software, simulation scenarios and sensitivities, and a cost modeling demonstration.

Short Course: Lean Methods in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Tuesday, October 21 • 8AM-NOON
This 4-hour short-course will provide an introduction to
some of the core tools of lean, including process mapping, waste elimination, and the power of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA).
More...
Short Course: Introductory Metrology
Tuesday, October 21 • 1PM-5PM
This 4-hour short course will provide attendees with a basic working knowledge of the principles of metrology, including: general metrology and uncertainty concepts, instrumentation overview and applications, instrument evaluation procedures and test samples, reference measurement systems, and best known methodologies.

Short Course: Lean Practices in Software Development
Tuesday, October 21 • 1PM-5PM
This 4-hour short course will provide an introduction to how lean manufacturing principles do—and do not—apply to software development and maintenance. Included will be practices for continuous integration, how automated functional tests can be used as executable requirements as well as a basis for non-functional testing, and how software developers can apply test-driven development to different types of applications.

Short Course: Art and Science of Maintenance
Tuesday, October 21 • 1PM-5PM
This 4-hour short course addresses the crucial role played by maintenance in semiconductor factory performance, as well as an introduction to certain unique maintenance protocols that may be employed to obtain significant and sustainable factory improvement. Attendees will actively engage in decisions for the operation of a simulated factory in order to gain an understanding of why and how changes in maintenance protocols impact cycle time, capacity, and lead time. Through such an approach reductions in cycle time of more than 70 percent have been achieved in actual practice.
