Director Optimization Solutions – IBM Analytics
Act as Optimization & Industry Expert involved with large customer accounts.
Provides consulting to customers in the field of discrete Manufacturing, logistics & transportation with a strong experience in the domain of Semiconductor/Electronics. He spent 15 years in Asia bringing the benefits of optimization technology to large players.
In the early 2000s, his first involvement with Semicon manufacturing was for Samsung with the development of Monthly Production Planning software for the early generation of TFT Plants and later for memory Fabs.
Then his main focus was to propose Optimization-based Software to improve the productivity of Lot Dispatching for front-end Fabs. He designed several versions of ever more sophisticated online Schedulers from RTS (Real Time Scheduler for Samsung Memory) to FPO (Fab Power Ops). The software has since replaced RTD in many 300mm fabs for keys sectors such as Photo Litho and Diffusion. More companies have now embrassed this solution: TSMC, UMC, NTC, ST Micro, Global Foundry etc.
His current mission is to propagate the benefits of “online Optimization” beyond the world of 300mm plants” in particular with 200mm fabs but also in other industries in areas like disruption management for airlines or railways.
