SH&E Life-Cycle Cost Model: An Internal Study from the Semiconductor Manufacturing Industry

  • Description:
    Questions and uncertainties related to SH&E practices create business challenges for fabrication managers, who need to understand the issues and circumstances that drive these practices. They also need to know how to depict financial outlays; how to attribute them to accounting periods; when to recognize them as liabilities that may require future financial outlays; and how to measure those expected financial outlays. The researchers believe development of SH&E cost modeling in this industry currently falls between the stage of understanding what factors drive costs and the stage of using that information to enhance decision making. Continued developments in this area will require that SH&E specialists, working in conjunction with design/ process engineers and financial experts, help fabrication managers make SH&E investments for the same reasons they make other investments-because they expect those investments to enhance competitiveness and reduce risk. In this study, changes in manufacturing practices and SH&E practices were interwoven. Changes in manufacturing affect SH&E and changes in SH&E in tum force logistical changes and changes in manufacturing technology and process design. It was also found that when the topic of modeling SH&E cost of ownership was first discussed with fabrication personnel, many thought the process would involve a trade-off of operations-related costs versus SH&E-related costs. This study was able to show these personnel that they can set acceptable SH&E performance criteria, then compare the life-cycle cost of ownership for mutually exclusive alternatives that meet or exceed those criteria. The comparative approach provided these managers with an improved way to decide between alternative methods of meeting a specific set of criteria. [Description provided by NIOSH]
