Case Study: Advanced Micro Devices achieves more accurate semiconductor costing and inventory valuation with 3C Software's ImpactECS

Advanced Micro Devices - Customer Case Study

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a semiconductor manufacturer, needed a way to replace its outdated legacy standard cost and inventory system without disrupting its existing architecture. The challenge was to accurately handle highly complex costing calculations across work centers, work-in-process, finished goods, and inventory reserves, while also giving managers broader access to reliable cost data across global facilities.

3C Software implemented ImpactECS to support detailed and aggregated costing, integrating with AMD’s budgeting, manufacturing execution, and ERP systems. The result was a major efficiency gain: month-end inventory valuation time dropped from two people working four days to one person completing it in one day, while improving data integrity, speeding calculations, and enabling better profitability analysis and decision-making across AMD’s locations.
