Stakeholder A sees COM1 as the perfect solution to the problem. She has been concerned with the high overhead of the facility compared to the low production numbers. Also, she likes the idea of taking back control of the production of these critical, high profit-margin products. There have been grumblings of dissent from IBM in particular. They have used the ON Semiconductor product learning curve to iron out some long standing process problems. Now it is rumored that IBM is itching to come out with its own products using the ON Semiconductor process.

Stakeholder A is creative in her perspective. She tries to use a Gestalt approach, considering what would be best for the company as a whole. Her st

Seemingly at loggerheads, the two stakeholders sit down to discuss the situation. Each side presents their case. Stakeholder A asks many questions about the technical impracticality of transferring 2400 products to COM 1 in six months. Then, something that Stakeholder B says catches her attention: The vast majority of the 2400 products should not be too challenging to move to COM 1. However, in the product portfolio, there are roughly 150 items that use a significantly different technology for production. These are the latest high profit-margin components, which require the latest equipment and processes to manufacture. The two stakeholders have an epiphany at the same instant. A new plan is born.

yle of problem solving is unique and refreshing. Here are some of the questions she asks: What are the strategic goals of ON Semiconductor? How do the various production facilities fit in to those goals? Where does the company plan to be in five years? As for the companies that are currently producing products for ON, what are their strategic goals for the next few years? Do their goals mesh with those of ON, or are they in opposition? What are the benefits and potential downside to bringing the products to COM1? While Stakeholder A is concerned with immediate costs, she is more interested in the long term growth of the company. She is relatively young, and she has grown up in Phoenix near the ON Semiconductor headquarters. She left town long enough to get a Harvard MBA, but she could not wait to return home to Arizona. The main ON Semiconductor facility has been a landmark for her since she was a child, and she even has several friends who are employed there. Therefore, Stakeholder A also has a compelling desire to bring jobs back to Phoenix and what she feels is a vested interest in the A
