Product Production Scenario Planning

Model Highlights

© Seagate Confidential

The application was developed to enable scenario planning for next quarter Glass Media and Effective Test Time* constraints

Developed models to maximize profit for both 2.5” products (glass media supply constraint) and 3.5” products (test time constraint)

• Demand Plan input: Rev Plan from Dec/Jan Outlook/Manu forecast• Pricing input: Rev Plan from Dec/Jan Outlook• Cost input: CMC Update from PLM• Media and Effective Test time constraint data from Factory POR (Plan of Record)• Customer Priority from PLM• ESG uses dedicated Gemini while NSG and PSG share the remaining Gemini resource

Goal: Work with PLM to analyze different fulfillment opportunities for customer-product-linearity decisions that maximize profit

• Ability to rapidly alternate between different cost (Std/CMC/TVC/MLB) and pricing measures (ASP/AUP)• Quickly alter customer and product attribute priorities

* Effective test time = Test Time / Yield

Manu Forecast Model Results


Manu forecast is higher than previous outlooks• OL1: 3.4M• OL2: 4.5M• Cur FW Manu: 7.9M

2.5” Glass media was constrained for the quarter• Supply for ESG and NSG = 1.2M discs• Demand for ESG and NSG =1.25M discs• Baseline Scenario (Retail = 100% ; all others filled based on profit margins)

ESG fulfilled 100%, NSG Wyatt XXXgb was unfulfilled due to lower margins• Min customer fulfill scenario (Priority = 100%, Opportunistic = 85%, Others = 50%)

Minimum requirements exceeded supply

3.5” Test time was constrained for the quarter for NSG/PSG

• ESG test times were unconstrained in all months• NSG/PSG were constrained in all months. By June was constrained by 10% of total demand
