Jon Goldman Associates Signs Agreement
with National Semiconductor
Orange, CA - April, 1999 - Jon Goldman Associates
(JGA) has signed an agreement with National Semiconductor
to provide JGA's Universal System Tools (UST) and Data Capture
Upgrade to CFM NT for use on National's Thermco TMX diffusion
furnaces. The purchase will upgrade National's OS/2 platforms
to NT platforms and will make them Y2K compliant. The Windows
NT™ platform, already operating on some of National's furnaces,
provides greater network and system flexibility options. JGA's
software system performs data collection and analysis of diffusion
processes to quickly obtain equipment and process information.
National Semiconductor has been a customer of Jon Goldman
Associates for almost 10 years. According to Andy Yarr, Senior
Systems Development Engineer, National Semiconductor, Scotland,
"National has a fab-wide anti-scrap program in place. This
upgrade continues our momentum toward reaching our performance
goals and continues the refinement of JGA's part in this already
successful anti-scrap program."
