Better ROI on Technology Improvement Projects

Client

Siltronic is a worldwide leader in the brutally competitive global marketplace for semiconductor fabrication.  Siltronic’s US fab operations run continuously.  The company invests heavily to increase its competitiveness, annually funding a large portfolio of technology improvement projects. 

Situation

Unfortunately, this portfolio did not deliver full return on investment.  Many of the projects missed schedule or budget, did not deliver what was originally intended, or caused last minute surprises to the senior management team. 

Solution

Synergy showed Siltronic-US how to understand the root causes of the shortfall. Then we designed custom project and portfolio management techniques to address these challenges and improve the success of their engineering projects. Here is an interview with one of the executive sponsors.
