In recent years, we have seen the key drive to boost demands for semiconductors shift from such

general-purpose appliances as personal computers to large scale integration (LSI), which is

embedded in IT-related electric household appliances. Because of this situation, IT-related electric

household appliances will need to be improved in versatility and quality, along with cost reduction.

Accordingly, the product life cycle of these goods may be 6 months or more, which is far shorter

than those general-purpose appliances whose life cycle is about 2-3 yr, because consumers who

purchase IT-related electric household appliances are more likely to be fickle. Furthermore, the

figure for the production for IT-related electric household appliances is estimated to be a

hundred thousand to several million units, which is about one-hundredth to one-thousandth of the

figure for general-purpose appliances. In order to enhance profitability in such low-volume/highvalue goods, the manufacturers should change their modality from such high-volume/low-mix production as 20-30 thousand tips per month with lump-sum investment into such low-volume/ high-mix one as 2-3 thousand tips per month with phased investment. With this in mind, the

process engineering should be flexible to enable makers to spawn new goods as quickly as possible

and meet a variety of consumers’ preferences in a timely manner.
