N-Able Group International (NGi) can provide support for clients through all phases of the system lifecycle from requirements definition to post implementation support as well as working with software vendors to help them adapt and effectively focus their products to support semiconductor companies. Our consultants understand semiconductor industry specific system requirements and the capabilities and limitations of commercial software packages.  The semiconductor industry builds product using process flow style manufacturing, whereas most other industries use discrete style manufacturing.  The design of most information systems show this.  Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems grew out of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II), both discrete oriented systems. N-Able Group works with software providers to help them understand and tailor their offerings to the unique aspects of the semiconductor industry.

Semiconductor process flow manufacturing may create major problems for ERP systems and many advanced planning and supply chain management software packages.  These problems may arise from requirements to support semiconductor inverted bill-of-material tracking, yields, wafer-to-die conversion, bin-outs, ship and debit, etc.  Customers generally assume that top-tier ERP and planning packages should satisfy all their requirements, which may not be the case.  We can assist semiconductor manufacturers with these issues by aiding with the selection and implementation of the optimum systems for their operations.
