About the Fab Managers Forum
The continued active support of FAB managers has been instrumental for the development of topical FMF themes and very successfully pulls the FAB, R&D and Suppliers community together. This made the FMF a well recognized platform for business partners to meet for an efficient exchange on key developments, needed for semiconductor manufacturing to succeed in Europe.
Based on the many good FAB team's inputs, the underlying theme continues to be “How to keep current FABs fit for purpose and most efficiently running”. The supporting FAB managers community like the forum sessions to be highly interactive, to develop towards a good matchmaking of USER NEEDS and SUPPLIER SOLUTIONS FAB challenges/critical issues raised:, on the one side, and, available and planned suppliers solutions/H/W, S/W and Services:, on the other side.
FAB managers will provide aggregated inputs from their and their peer's teams, on 'what the issues and opportunities are'. Invited are leaders from the OEM and special services community, to share their answers, how to take on these critical challenges and close gaps, assuring matching services in the short run and over the strategic horizon.
