In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
Demand forecast plays a critical role to determine capital investment for capacity planning. Given the involved uncertainties and long lead-time for capacity expansion, semiconduc...
Semiconductor fabs often offer manufacturing service of multiple priorities in terms of cycle time-based X-factor targets (XFTs) and fab production must be planned accordingly. Th...
Discrete-event simulation is a common tool for the analysis of semiconductor manufacturing systems. With the aid of a simulation model, and in conjunction with sensitivity analysi...
