ASML
Graduation assignment: Using Process Mining to find lead indicators of quality issues
Introduction
This is a graduation internship for a Master student in Mathematics, Statistics, Industrial Engineering or related, with knowledge of process mining.
Job Mission
ASML is a worldwide market leader in the production of lithography systems. These systems are used by customers like Intel and Samsung for their production of integrated circuits. Lithography systems are large (container sized), expensive (between 15 and 100 million dollar) and high-tech (over 50% of 16k FTE work at Development & Engineering).
The EUV factory produces ASMLs latest system types and experiences part related quality issues during the assembly and qualification of our systems. Reasons for these quality issues (broken parts) are diverse. They range from handling problems in warehouses to wrong packaging defined in the part administration. Another potential problem is the usage of refurbished (repaired, formerly broken) parts. What all these problems have in common is that they might be found beforehand by combining part characteristics as captured in regular part documentation (SAP database) and knowledge about the history of where the part has been before it enters the factory. We hope we can use process mining in combination with (statistical) analyses to find some of these quality issues before they cause problems in the factory. It would be very interesting for us to know to which extend this is possible and - if successful - how we could go about doing so in a more structural way in the future. You could help us find the practical value process mining can bring!
You are a master student in Mathematics, Statistics, Industrial Engineering or related with knowledge of process mining. You are a critical, independent worker. This is a graduation internship for 5 days a week with a minimum duration of 6 months. The start date is as soon as
possible.
Please keep in mind that we can only consider students (who are enrolled at a school during the whole internship period) for our internships and graduation assignments.
