Micron Technology announced this week that it will be restructuring its memory operations. Due to declining customer demand and product oversupply, the company will be discontinuing the production of NAND flash memory at its Boise facility. As a result, Micron plans to reduce its global workforce by approximately 15 percent over the next two years.
In response to a challenging global environment for technology products, Micron Technology, Inc., today announced a restructuring of its memory operations.
The combination of declining customer demand and product oversupply in the marketplace has driven selling prices for NAND flash memory significantly below manufacturing costs, particularly for 200 millimeter (mm) manufacturing lines. As a result, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT), a joint venture between Micron and Intel Corporation, will discontinue the supply of NAND flash memory from Micron’s Boise facility. The NAND operation shutdown will reduce IMFT’s NAND flash production by approximately 35,000 wafers (200mm) per month.
As part of the restructuring, Micron plans to reduce its global workforce by approximately 15 percent during the next two years. The majority of the workforce reductions, which will begin with a voluntary program, will occur in Boise as a result of the NAND operation shutdown. Micron is committed to assisting employees affected by the workforce reductions and is providing severance and outplacement services.
