Wafer Management Program

WaferNet’s WMP is an independent, web-based inventory management system that is implemented through WaferNet’s extranet. It facilitates the onsite storage of materials for purchase at our customers’ locations on a consignment basis. The WMP is designed to the customers’ specifications including details such as inventory levels and usage, and can be easily modified as their processes and needs evolve. The product materials are barcoded for easy identification. From check-out to check-in, every segment of the supply chain is monitored and tracked through the WMP, providing WaferNet clients with valuable real-time data and reporting to maximize the efficiency of their operations and reduce costs.

Wafer Supply and Storage

Clients are equipped by WaferNet with the necessary WMP system setup software and hardware tools. This includes a computer terminal, LCD touch screen or iPad, scanners, bar code labeling materials, training and IT support.

WaferNet products are delivered and stocked in the customers’ storage facilities. Inventory is checked out for purchase by the designated personnel from the customers’ own warehouse. Upon scanning, the transaction details are depicted and followed by an email notification in addition to real time updates of inventory and other budget data.

Intelligent Data Analysis

WaferNet’s WMP is designed to track customer behavior and capture and intelligently analyze data on inventory levels, purchasing trends and other metrics. Reports with product and service recommendations for our customers are automatically generated based on their interactions with the WMP. This firsthand information allows WaferNet to anticipate our individual clients’ needs and further customize our product and service offerings to them.

Supply Chain Management

Maximum and minimum levels of stored supply are determined by the customers according to their projected usage, demo requirements, and upcoming initiatives. To avoid any shortages or disruption to our clients’ operations, WaferNet’s WMP monitors the usage data and production lead times.

As inventory levels wane, auto re-stock alerts are generated and received by WaferNet according to the clients’ specified parameters. Upon receiving the notification, WaferNet ships the re-stock wafers and they are received and scanned into inventory, ready to be purchased, for a seamless restocking process that saves our clients time and overhead. Management reports can be accessed with real time data.
