There are many benefits of using Tensoft SemiOps Data Uploads, especially when working with large volumes of transactions. The production module in Tensoft SemiOps allows you to create and manage production orders – along with managing your overall supply chain and production process. We call these production orders a “PR” (Production Release). Production orders can […]
How Does EDIFACT Work with Tensoft System
Tensoft has customers across Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. To cater to our global customer base, we use both X12 and EDIFACT standard for transferring files from different ERP systems to Tensoft system. The major difference between X12 and EDIFACT is that X12 is widely used in United States and EDIFACT is most widely […]
Schedule Management in Tensoft SemiOps
Scheduling is the process of assigning commit dates or planned ship dates to backlog lines. Tensoft SemiOps streamlines the schedule management processes and integrates with planning and backlog. The Sales Operations can enter the orders including the customer request date for each line to be shipped and the Operations team, supported by the production plan […]

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Manufacturing in the Semiconductor Industry
Semiconductor manufacturing stands apart as a unique process when you compare it to other manufacturing processes. From a systems perspective, production in most manufacturing industries is either discrete or process manufacturing – semiconductor manufacturing can be defined as process manufacturing with a discrete outcome. Here’s what I mean by that. The semiconductor manufacturing process is […]
Strategies for Reducing Semiconductor Product Costs
For emerging semiconductor chip companies, the primary goal is to customer acceptance of products and to sell product. However, as chip companies scale, everyone’s attention turns very quickly to lowering costs. It becomes critically important that Operations and Finance work together to achieve strategic goals and to manage costs effectively. In order to do that, […]
Internal Production in Supply Chain through Tensoft SemiOps
We define supply chain as component sourcing from multiple suppliers brought together to build a product. For semiconductor companies, there are some components, but it is mostly about the process. The semiconductor supply chain is a series of process steps–often done at multiple locations and with multiple suppliers. Instead of procuring materials to build one […]
