This book systematically analyzes the applicability of big data analytics and Industry 4.0 from
the perspective of semiconductor manufacturing management. It reports in real examples and
presents case studies as supporting evidence. In recent years technologies of big data
analytics and Industry 4.0 have been frequently applied to the management of semiconductor
manufacturing. However related research results are mostly scattered in various journal issues
or conference proceedings and there is an urgent need for a systematic integration of these
results. In addition many related discussions have placed too much emphasis on the theoretical
framework of information systems rather than on the needs of semiconductor manufacturing
management. This book addresses these issues.
