FabTime Completes Cycle Time Management System Installation at AMD’s Fab 25

October 9, 2001 — MENLO PARK, CA — FabTime Inc. recently announced that it had completed the installation of its FabTime cycle time management system at AMD’s Fab 25 in Austin, TX. Fab 25 has more than 100,000 square feet of cleanroom space, and was designed to support several generations of process technology. AMD selected FabTime’s software to aid in cycle time improvement efforts at Fab 25.

“I’ve been using FabTime’s lot-tracking features to accelerate hot lots and to get immediate notification of scrap-related problems,” said Mike Hillis, Fab 25 cycle time and line yield improvement manager. “FabTime enables shift facilitators to monitor performance in their areas better, in order to improve cycle time and activities. Instead of spending time preparing reports, they can get the data they need quickly from FabTime, and then spend their time making real improvements.”

FabTime is designed to give wafer fab managers and their staff the information that they need, in real-time, to run their fabs effectively. FabTime extracts lot move transaction data from the fab manufacturing execution system (MES) every five minutes, and imports this data into a SQL Server database. Users can then access a comprehensive system of cycle time-related charts and alerts via a web browser from anywhere within the corporate Intranet.
