Capacity Management Manager is responsible for end-to-end capacity planning, optimization, and execution across semiconductor assembly and test operations. This role ensures that factory capacity aligns with customer demand, business forecasts, and operational constraints while maximizing asset utilization, minimizing bottlenecks, and supporting on-time delivery performance.
Responsibilities
Capacity Planning & Strategy
Develop and maintain short-, mid-, and long-term capacity plans across assembly and test processes.
Translate demand forecasts into actionable capacity requirements (equipment, tooling, labor, and floor space).
Lead scenario planning (upside/downside demand, new product ramps, engineering changes).
Align capacity strategies with business objectives, including cost, delivery, and flexibility targets.
Factory Load Balancing & Optimization
Monitor and manage factory loading to ensure optimal utilization across all work centers.
Identify and mitigate bottlenecks in die attach, wire bond, molding, trim & form, and test operations.
Drive cycle time reduction and throughput improvements through data-driven analysis.
Collaborate with production, engineering, and maintenance teams to resolve constraints.
Capital Planning & Investment
Define equipment capacity gaps and justify capital expenditures (CapEx).
Partner with finance and engineering on ROI analysis, equipment selection, and deployment timing.
Oversee capacity readiness for new equipment installation and qualification.
Demand & Supply Alignment
Work closely with planning, sales, and customer operations teams to align factory output with customer demand.
Support S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) processes with accurate capacity inputs.
Provide risk assessments and mitigation plans for demand fluctuations or supply disruptions.
New Product Introduction (NPI) Support
Ensure capacity readiness for new product ramps, including tooling, process capability, and test capacity.
Collaborate with engineering on process flow, cycle time assumptions, and ramp plans.
Performance Monitoring & Reporting
Establish and track key KPIs such as utilization, OEE, throughput, cycle time, and on-time delivery.
Develop dashboards and reporting tools to provide visibility into capacity status and risks.
Present regular updates to senior leadership on capacity outlook and constraints.
Continuous Improvement
Lead initiatives to improve capacity modeling accuracy and planning processes.
Drive digitalization and automation in capacity planning tools and data analytics.
Implement best practices in lean manufacturing and constraint management.
Team Leadership
Lead and develop a team of capacity planners and analysts.
Foster cross-functional collaboration across production, engineering, maintenance, and supply chain.
Mentor team members and build succession planning within the function.
Requirements
Education & Experience
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Management, or related field.
10+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, preferably in assembly and test operations.
Minimum 5 years in a leadership or managerial role.
