Integrating Simulation Based Scheduling with Mes in a Semi-conductor Fab
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses how simulation was used to evaluate and characterize the scheduling issues in a semiconductor fab and the subsequent implementation of an integrated scheduling solution. The scheduling system was integrated with the fab MES and a number of other data sources including an integrated machine standards database, preventative maintenance scheduling and a Kanban stage calculation worksheet. It generates the schedule automatically at intervals throughout the day, 7 days per week and is used directly by the shop floor operators. The solution enables the same data to be used for both scheduling and off-line simulation to provide continuous improvement by refining the simulation rules through “what-if” analysis

Simulation based FAB scheduler: SeePlan®
In a typical FAB factory, various types of products are produced around the clock. Complex constraints and re-entrant flows make it difficult for a human scheduler to generate a production schedule based on his/her experience and knowledge. This paper introduces a simulation based FAB scheduler, SeePlan®, which was developed by the authors. A Korea based semi-conductor and LCD maker designated ...
متن کاملIntegrated Maintenance Scheduling for Semiconductor Manufacturing
We present a maintenance scheduling problem arising from semi-conductor manufacturing which is characterized by low resource contention and multiple complex objectives and preferences. Since semi-conductor manufacturing involves a very high degree of uncertainty at the level of detailed operations, such as machine availability, yield, and processing times, generating a maintenance schedule whic...

In this paper, we propose a methodology integrating discrete event simulation based on the fuzzy set theory to solve the scheduling planning problem for construction operations in a new semiconductor building. Unlike traditional construction scheduling approaches that only cope with quantitative data, fuzzy set-based methods provide proper instruments for expressing planners’ linguistic terms t...

The impact of different energy storages on power systems has become more important due to the development of energy storage technologies. This paper optimizes the stochastic scheduling of a wind-based multiple energy system (MES) and evaluates the operation of the proposed system in combination with electrical and thermal demand-response programs and the three-mode CAES (TM-CAES) unit. The prop...
متن کاملEfficient Algorithms for Just-In-Time Scheduling on a Batch Processing Machine
Just-in-time scheduling problem on a single batch processing machine is investigated in this research. Batch processing machines can process more than one job simultaneously and are widely used in semi-conductor industries. Due to the requirements of just-in-time strategy, minimization of total earliness and tardiness penalties is considered as the criterion. It is an acceptable criterion for b...
