Making Smart Manufacturing Work: Customer-driven Requirements Development

By: Han Joo Lee, SK Hynix and Alan Weber, Director New Product Innovations, Cimetrix Incorporated

Robust purchase specifications are the key to making Smart Manufacturing work.

• Smart Manufacturing depends on good data and lots of it.
• Equipment models are the data collection "contracts" between factory customers and equipment suppliers
• You don't get what you pay for...you get what you require
• Purchase specifications should be based on requirements from a broad set of manufacturing stakeholders
• We have defined a rigorous process for translating stakeholder requirements into interface purchase specifications
• An on-site workshop is a very effective way to gather and process requirements from a diverse group.
