When everything was about innovation and quality? Now it's all about cutting costs and cutting corners. Sad what this place has turned into.

Right @bqy !! !
Can’t even get the basics right
@1osp
For timwoods and the 5 whys, although I have heard of them, they are not pursued or utilized much. I do think we need to go much deeper than these systems but they are good at getting back to 1st principles.
We need to make meaningful changes at TD before configs get locked as well as creating a system where we can enable changes throughout the lifecycle of a process/product (actual risk control and change management). Reminds me of a conversation I had with a TD eng telling him the new technology is all broken, and he came back with the yield isgreat... I was talking about its ability to run on the tool in an efficient & reliable manner, which was not true, if we kept runnign it as designed we would run out of raw materials in the world to supply it, way overdesigned and never challenged to be any leaner...
Intel needs to have cost be a pillar of TD, we need quality and uniformity only where it matters, everywhere else you are adding cost without a return. Understanding what is really critical and important compared to noise is what we need to embark to comprehend. We have too SPC charts with extremely tight UCL based on nothing but feelings... QR&E needs to be task with doing actual capability and failure analysis that can show with data where we break and where we need to be vigilant. Anywhere else calories being expended is a big piece of our inefficiency.
Is actual lean stuff like timwoods and the 5 whys still around to actually do the stuff that really brings costs down?
Honestly the Intel Values were always just a gimmick. Leadership never cared about them or followed them. If they cared about innovation, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
They missed some values in the old list and we are still paying the price. 1: Keep your pants on while working with employees. 2: Don't act like elite pricks when working with the customers.
