An Ontology for Production Control of Semiconductor Manufacturing Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe an ontology for a hierarchically organized production control system in semiconductor manufacturing. The semiconductor manufacturing domain is characterized by reentrant product flows, sequence dependent setup-times, prescribed due-dates, a diverse product mix, a mix of different process types including batch processes and preventive maintenance issues because of complex technological processes. Starting from a hierarchical decomposition of the manufacturing system, we use an agent-based architecture for implementing the resulting production control system. In order to coordinate the autonomous entities of the hierarchy, we suggest an ontology that is appropriate to the hierarchical control approach. We illustrate the use of the suggested ontology.

FABMAS: An Agent-Based System for Production Control of Semiconductor Manufacturing Processes
In this paper, we present results on designing the architecture of an agent-based system for production control of semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs). These manufacturing systems are characterized by reentrant product flows, sequence dependant setup-times, inhomogenous parallel machines, a diverse product mix, a mix of different process types, prescribed due dates of the or...
متن کاملAn economic-statistical model for production and maintenance planning under adaptive non-central chi-square control chart
Most of the inventory control models assume that quality defect never happens, which means production process is perfect. However, in real manufacturing processes, the production process starts its operation in the in-control state; but after a period of time, shifts to the out-of-control state because of occurrence of some disturbances. In this paper, in order to approach the model to real man...

We are studying the manufacturing performance of semiconductor wafer fabrication plants in the US, Asia, and Europe. There are great similarities in production equipment, manufacturing processes, and products produced at these plants. Nevertheless, data reported here show that important quantitative measures of productivity vary by factors of 3 to as much as 5 across an international sample of ...

Sustainability is one of the biggest challenges of this century either for the environment or economical growth. The required cultural shift needs challenging action that will involve deeply software and hardware aspect of manufacturing processes. In this paper, the software part of the matter is addressed by proposing a product centric ontology, in which concepts of product, processes and reso...
