Company Backgrounder

In use by six of the top ten semiconductor companies, the NMX-ERP™ solution enables superior project schedule estimation, risk analysis, resource planning, multi-project execution pipeline analysis and benchmarking.

The nucleus of the NMX-ERP solution contains:
  1. An Industry Database of more than 1200 IC projects from nearly 40 semiconductor companies. Major categories include wireless communications, computers, entertainment products, industrial products, wired communications, computer system peripherals, and transportation.
     
  2. Numetrics’ patented IC complexity calculation engine, which comprises a suite of models calibrated with more than 1200 IC projects and 20,000 circuit blocks that allow any chip's complexity to be normalized and its design difficulty quantified – from concept to release to production – given its specific technical characteristics and application.

NMX-ERP enables semiconductor companies to significantly improve schedule predictability and therefore reduce schedule slip, while at the same time ensuring managers set highly competitive schedule targets. In addition the solution enables engineering managers to rapidly explore alternative project plan scenarios in a "what-if" simulation environment that supports tradeoffs between schedule, staffing, chip functionality and performance. It is the only solution of its kind in the world.

With NMX-ERP, engineering managers can monitor schedule risk and benchmark performance of all active projects in their portfolios. Immediately upon specifying the chip's technical characteristics and the staffing assigned to the project, the engineering manager gets an accurate measure of the schedule risk – the probability and magnitude of a schedule slip. Knowing which projects will seriously miss schedule and having the data and analyses supporting the conclusions enables engineering managers to confidently take corrective action and defend decisions.

NMX-ERP’s Bottom Line Value: Projects finish on time, within budget, and have competitive cycle times, all of which translates to higher revenue, profits and market share.
