Bio
Gene Goebel
I’ve known David for over 10 years. My first encounter with him was while he and his associate were giving some twenty of our people a course in cost of ownership. I had only stopped in to survey the course and found myself drawn in and staying for a few hours. The clarity and quality of instruction dealt with the math to determine the actual cost. More important however was the instruction to our people on how to identify and deal with product dissatisfaction and how this is more often confused with cost. Since that first meeting I’ve remained in touch with David and used his firm WWK. I can say without hesitation that David is one of the brightest and gifted people in bringing understanding of market forces, operations and clarifying cost vs. value. David and WWK are outstanding contributors to anyone’s business.

Jul 1991 - Present
For the last 30+ years, David has led Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK), a company dedicated to the development of software tools and consulting services for operational cost management and productivity improvement. In 1992, David developed the one day workshop “Understanding and Using Cost of Ownership.” The course has been offered by SEMI and directly with commercial clients. In combination, David has trained over 5,000 professionals in COO from a variety of industries including: semiconductors, photovoltaics (PV), flat panel displays (FPD), nanotechnology, micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), thin film record heads, magnetic media, and solid state lighting/light emitting diodes (SSL/LED). In 1994, WWK was contracted by SEMATECH to develop the next generation of COO software. David was responsible for the design and development of what has become the semiconductor industry’s de facto software standard in COO modeling, TWO COOL®. He also holds a patent for his work on PRO COOL® for Wafer Sort & Final Test. David was also a major contributor to the initial development of SEMI COO Standard E35 and its ongoing revisions. David received the Texas Instruments (TI) Supplier Excellence Award in 1996 for WWK’s TWO COOL® software and training support of TI’s goal to reduce manufacturing costs. Over the past 20+ years, David has been actively supporting the burgeoning and, later, rapidly growing PV industry. WWK’s installed base in PV includes all of its major products ranging from COO modeling to full factory product costing to discrete-event simulation while its customers now span equipment and materials suppliers to turnkey factory suppliers to device manufacturers. David has also authored numerous productivity and cost management articles including published papers on PV cell and module manufacturing. He has also been an invited speaker at PV events sponsored by the American Vacuum Society and others. Show less
