The semiconductor industry supply chain continues to capture attention as general awareness about the importance of semiconductors in our everyday lives grows.
The news of global expansion and ongoing delays of new fabs coming online is constant. But have you ever stopped to think how complicated it is to outfit a fab with its highly calibrated, sensitive equipment? There are many moving parts to consider – both figuratively and literally. 

In this episode, Françoise von Trapp leads a conversation with Barry O’Dowd of Kuehne+Nagel; Kevin Mille, of KLA, and Emerald Grieg, of  PTW Group to discuss what it takes to successfully move a piece of semiconductor equipment from the supplier to the manufacturer. 

The speakers discuss trade compliance and logistics challenges, the proper approach to packing and crating sensitive equipment, and how to ensure safe transportation. They discuss the differences between moving new equipment from an OEM, and secondary equipment from a broker. They also share stories of when things didn’t go exactly to plan, and what they learned from the experience. 

 Listen in and learn: 

  • What you should consider when you’re ready to move a tool
  • What you need to know about trade compliance issues
  • What to do if the customer is not ready to receive the tool 
  • The importance of communication and collaboration throughout the process
  • The importance of using specialists who understand the complexities of semiconductor equipment and parts
  • And more…
