Semiconductors & Electronics

Know the cost of every good unit, not only every unit started.

Optifi connects yield, routing, equipment, BOM, sourcing and commercial data to explain fully absorbed profit from wafer or component through to customer.

Management signalCost per good unit
01The management question
What distorts margin

Which process, capacity and sourcing choices are changing profit per good unit?

Semiconductor and electronics economics change at process-step level. Yield loss compounds through the route, capital cost depends on tool utilisation, and engineering revisions can alter material and cycle requirements before finance sees the margin effect.

02What matters to leadership
The economics management must see

Focus the model on the decisions that determine profit.

01

Yield economics

What matters

A small loss early in the route increases the cost carried by every surviving unit. Management needs yield-adjusted cost by process, lot and product.

How Optifi helps

Optifi applies step-level yield, scrap and rework data to calculate the real cost of good output and quantify the profit effect of improvement.

02

Capital and capacity

What matters

Tools, cleanrooms and specialist support create substantial fixed cost. Under-utilisation and bottlenecks change unit economics by route.

How Optifi helps

Optifi assigns depreciation, maintenance, engineering and facility cost using tool time, capacity and causal operating drivers.

03

Sourcing and landed cost

What matters

Multi-level BOMs, supplier changes, tariffs, freight and regional sourcing can move product cost faster than standard cost updates.

How Optifi helps

Optifi versions BOM and sourcing assumptions, calculates landed cost, and tests supplier or geography changes before commitments are made.

04

Lifecycle profitability

What matters

New products absorb engineering effort while mature products face price pressure and obsolescence risk. Revenue alone does not show portfolio contribution.

How Optifi helps

Optifi combines NPI, sustaining, warranty and commercial cost with product and customer revenue to show lifecycle profit and scenario outcomes.

03Automated profitability process
One governed model

Translate every production event into product and customer economics.

Stratic configures Optifi to automate data from ERP, MES, quality, engineering and procurement systems. The model calculates cost per good unit, assigns equipment and support cost causally, and traces product and customer margin back to yield, route, source and lifecycle decisions.
