1/1,000,000 the cost 1/10,000,000 the size 1,000,000 X the reliability

Incremental Innovation
Address issues in non-traditional ways Necessary to retain competitive position but does not threaten status quo Responsive to problems, opportunities or trends Team driven; high expectation of success Lots of recognition and reward for success

Problem Solving Framework at Intel

Why is it important for Intel to solve manufacturing problems quickly?


Each new technology has a shorter life cycle and requires a faster ramp rate than previous technologies. Problems incurred are much more costly per day of problem solving than they have ever been.

Why problem solving is so critical in our current business model Our current problem solving culture Our manufacturing objectives Types of problems we solve How TRIZ fits in Future vision of TRIZ at Intel

Intels Manufacturing Mission


To be the best in the world at:
Ramping new products into high volume Yields Tool productivity Cost and agility

Intels Problem Solving Culture and Methodology


Problem or Undesired event occurrence

Prevent

Symptoms

Fix

Most Probable Cause(s)

Root Cause

In order to achieve our goals, problems must be quickly contained, and with root cause understanding.

Problems are solved at different levels, with both time-to-solution and quality of solution in mind.

Managing the Problem Solving Process


Framework to manage the problem solving process
Step 7: Determine Next Steps e Step 1:
Define the Problem

Types of Problems We Solve


Corrective: Problems where a standard previously achieved is not being met Ex: excursion.

Step 2: Document Current Situation

Step 6: Standardize Solutions

Communicate!

Step 3: Create & Validate Model

Improvement: The current system or process performance, as it was designed, is expected to be improved Ex: Yield improvement.

Step 5: Implement Solutions

Step 4: Develop Solutions

Preventive: Problems are where the goal is to add robustness and prevent systems or processes from failure or falling below baseline. Ex: Integrated process window centering

Analytic Tools for Problem Solving


This is where TRIZ comes in
Management tools Analytical tools
Functional Analysis of Product or process. TRIZ helps to define the real problem to be worked on vs. symptoms. Ideality of Engineering Systems & focusing on Main Useful Function. Zone of Conflict Analysis of the Useful / Harmful Operational Zones to understand the conflicting requirements Resource Analysis during Operational Time Cause and Effect Chain helps to see other potential causes of problems Scientific Effects db better understanding of other potential causes Scientific Effects db identifying effects that can solve problems 40 Principles identify potential solutions Predictions (Technology Trends) identifies evolutionary potential of interaction between components
