Duke,

re: "It said its capacity utilisation rate far exceeded 100 percent."

I got a kick out of that also. Maybe their employee's are making chips at home?

How can they use more than 100% of their capacity? :))

Maybe shifts related? Maybe 100% = 2 shifts a day, non-weekend? Just a guess.

Duke - Re: "How can they use more than 100% of their capacity? :)) "

Every well run fab has time slots alloted for equipment downtime, preventive maintenance, shift change inefficiencies, etc. These are factored into to their capacity calculations.

By reducing these items - through whatever means - they can effectively "increase" their capacity - beyond their original limitations.
