Custom Chip, Inc. is a semiconductor manufacturer specializing in custom chips for use in radio frequency devices such as satellite transmitters. Cost reduction had become a priority because corporate growth had stopped from a downturn in the industry. Wafer fabrication takes 8 to 12 weeks and assembly takes 4 to 6 weeks. At each step operations are subject to considerable operator and machine error, resulting in an average product yield of 60-70 percent.

Whenever yield falls in the 35-50 percent range, the company runs the risk of not being able to complete the order on time or of having too much waste.

Each department has its separate goals, although it is evident that those separate goals are not yet brought together in the form of unified corporate goals.
