Consulting Background
 | For my most recent biography, see my current company, FabTime,
Inc. I co-founded FabTime with Frank Chance in early 1999. |
| I consulted for three years to Digital Semiconductor’s Business Planning and Industrial Engineering groups. At Digital, I
worked on product cost and capacity models, cycle time analysis, and overall equipment
effectiveness. |
| Through Chance Industrial Solutions and Wright Williams and Kelly, I have consulted
for
Seagate Technologies and Siemens AG (Regansburg). I also acted as a lead beta tester for
WWK on their capacity modeling and simulation products. |
| Through CALEB Technologies, I have consulted with Continental Airlines. |
| I worked for 2 1/2 years for SEMATECH, in support
of their Operational Modeling Department, from 6/92 to 12/94.
 | My primary project involved understanding and improving capacity for wafer fabrication
facilities. I maintain a 250+ article capacity modeling bibliography
that started from that project. John
Fowler has a searchable version of a similar bibliography. |
| I also assisted in the development of a set of factory-level testbed datasets, available
to people in academia and industry for benchmarking algorithms and
software, known as the SEMATECH testbed. These datasets are available
from http://www.eas.asu.edu/~masmlab/ftp.htm |
|
| From 5/89 to 8/91 I worked for Howard Needles Tammen and Bergendoff (Civil Engineering Consultants), and their subsidiary Thomas K. Dyer, as a
transportation engineer. |
