This article deals with an approach for managing scheduling in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The proposed approach ensures consistency between global and local schedulin...
Pricing and lead time setting are two important decisions in semiconductor foundry industries. This research considers the competition of a duopoly market consisting of two make-t...
Network reduction techniques are mainly used with exact approaches such as factoring to compute network reliability. However, exact computation of network reliability is feasible ...
We use computer simulation to study the performance of alternative real-time delay estimators in heavily loaded multiserver queueing models. These delay estimates may be used to m...
Effective use of machines and headcounts is essential in manufacturing for high return of investment from expensive resources in today’s competitive business environment. It is ...
