“ We chose to lean into that challenge, and it’ s become one of our greatest strengths,” Kris says.“ When your technology is powering a vehicle, a factory or critical infrastructure, good enough isn’ t good enough. That’ s the standard we build to every day.”
These same standards have also made changes across Micron’ s manufacturing and quality network. Continuous improvement has moved the baseline measurement of success from defectsper-million to defects-per-billion. These improvements make impacts beyond Micron’ s facilities, improving quality for its customers.
Kris says:“ Leading a team with a strong focus on close collaboration with customers and market innovators, driving a strong partnership with Micron’ s technology and product development organisation to deliver industry-first products, as well as being recognised as a market leader, has been super exciting and rewarding.”
