Apply Lean Six Sigma in Semiconductor Industry Polytechnic Institute Academic Year 2024 Accepted Sustainability Semiconductors are the heart of modern electronic devices which are widely used in communications, computing, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and military, among others. However, most of the semiconductor manufacturing foundries are located in Asia, such as Taiwan, South Korea, and China. Therefore, the global semiconductors supply chain would be at high risk and vulnerable to raw material shortages, geopolitical conflicts, and extreme events (e.g., epidemics, earthquakes, and floods). As the hub of high technology, manufacturing, research, and development, the demand for semiconductors in the US is high. To reduce reliance on overseas chip supply, the US government has provided financial support to promote semiconductor manufacturing inside the US by passing the CHIPS Act 2022. However, many challenges need to be overcome to manufacture semiconductors in the US that meet its demand, such as limited access to raw materials and quick training of human resources. Apply lean six sigma methods to improve semiconductor manufacturing or recycling outdated electronic devices or electronic trash could be potential solutions for promoting a sustainable semiconductor industry. This project will review the literature and assess relevant lean six sigma methods. Tho Le Conduct a literature review and assess methods for recycling semiconductors. https://thovle.weebly.com/ Any student has min GPA 3.2 Priority is given to students who have knowledge of lean six sigma, semiconductors, supply chain, logistics/transportation, and industrial engineering/technology. 0 10 (estimated)
