IBM-Japan Selects TYECIN Systems for State-of-the-art Simulation-based Scheduling Capability; IBM's POSEIDON System to Target Boom of New Semiconductor Fabs and Other Microelectronics Factories Being Built in Asia-Pacific Region.LOS ALTOS Los Altos (lôs ăl`tōs, lŏs), residential city (1990 pop. 26,303), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1952. There is diversified light manufacturing. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 1996--TYECIN Systems today announced an agreement with IBM-Japan whereby TYECIN's ManSim/X simulation tool will be embedded into IBM's POSEIDON System for planning and scheduling in microelectronics manufacturing enterprises. The POSEIDON System has been in use at IBM-Yasu for more than seven years and has been installed in over 10 customer sites throughout the Asia-Pacific Region. Sites include silicon wafer fabs, module assembly manufacturing, and LCD manufacturing. TYECIN Systems is considered unique among software vendors as it has emerged from the semiconductor industry to successfully develop detailed planning and scheduling solutions that meet complex microelectronics industry requirements. By combining with POSEIDON, broad-based enterprise management needs will be met by a single integrated system. Initially targeted for the 50 plus Asia-Pacific region semiconductor fabs presently under construction or planned for completion by 2000, the POSEIDON System will provide manufacturers with tremendous competitive advantage. The system is capable of managing multiple parallel manufacturing lines as well as multiple sub-contractor facilities. Use of POSEIDON will enhance operational efficiencies and improve product quality and on-time delivery. Future plans for POSEIDON include expansion of the target market to the U.S. and Europe. Planned product enhancements include the SEMATECH SEMATECH Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Framework compliance in 1997. "POSEIDON's strategy is to provide standard interfaces with products that are proven to be the `Best of Breed.' TYECIN's software technologies were chosen to play a major role with POSEIDON in SI business and our operations at IBM-Yasu, Japan. TYECIN's products will be available for short range simulation for resource allocation resource allocation Managed care The constellation of activities and decisions which form the basis for prioritizing health care needs in Yasu's production within three months," stated Yasuharu Yada, senior advisor In some countries, a Senior Advisor is an appointed position by the Head of State to advise on the highest levels of national and government policy. Sometimes a junior position to this is called a National Policy Advisor. , Solutions Services, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Japan. "This marks another major company forming an alliance with TYECIN's simulation systems," stated Dan Hutcheson of VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit.

"This cements TYECIN's position as the leader in providing simulation-based scheduling and planning solutions for the microelectronics industry." "We view the decision by a world class manufacturer and provider of manufacturing system solutions to embed our simulation and planning products into their factory floor management system as a major step in establishing TYECIN as the leader in this rapidly expanding manufacturing region," stated Randall Hughes, TYECIN's president. "We've been investing in the growing Asia-Pacific region, and this agreement, with a company the caliber of IBM-Japan, will definitely improve both our access as well as our recognition." Founded in 1989, TYECIN Systems simulation Systems simulation is a set of techniques for using computers to imitate, or simulate, the operations of various kinds of real-world facilities or processes (Law 2007). The computer is used to generate a numerical model of reality for the purposes of describing complex interaction products are in use at over 220 semiconductor manufacturing sites worldwide, including the top 10 suppliers and all SEMATECH member companies. The company's products are also in use at leading manufacturers in the thin film disk and flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time industries. With the addition of Linear Programming-based optimization, TYECIN has assembled all the critical software technologies required for semiconductor enterprise management. The company is headquartered in Los Altos, Calif. CONTACT: TYECIN Mary Jo Colton, 415/949-8501 or ChipShots Inc. Steve Saller, 408/541-2191 |
