Delivering Good Boards on Time

摘要

A shop owner once told me, "If you do not count late orders due to yield, we're 88 percent on time." He was proud. I was shocked! What? You're only doing 88 percent on-time deliveries. "Well," he said, "with yield problems, we're more like 75 percent on time."rnI said, "OK. Let's go find a quiet place to talk and let's find your problems." In six months of intense work, we had real on-time deliveries in the low 90 percent with improved yields and a plan to get to mid-90 percent. During my last consulting job at the company they had great on-time numbers, in the 98 percent area, proving that you can improve if you try. Each percent of yield you screw up on is many dollars down the drain. And I hate throwing money down the drain.
