SUPPLY CHAIN OPPORTUNITY GUIDE 7
Operation of a fab requires coordination with numerous suppliers of raw materials,
equipment, consumables and services. Each fab maintains a comprehensive network of
suppliers to meet their day-to-day needs. This guide attempts to demystify fab
operations and the associated suppliers using diagrammatic maps and a framework
of five fab zones that describe the physical environments inside a fab.
Firms can consider how their capabilities map to various supply chain tiers and fab
zones to identify opportunities and requirements to participate in this growing industry.
