Centralized Model Predictive Control Strategies for Inventory Management in Semiconductor Manufacturing Supply Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Centralized strategies based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) are applied to inventory management problems associated with semiconductor supply chains. Specifically, two benchmark problems of relevance to semiconductor manufacturing are examined. The first is a single product, two node problem consisting of a Fab/Sort and an Assembly/Test facility controlled with a predictive controller using anticipation. The performance of the control scheme under conditions of plantmodel mismatch and unforecasted demand are evaluated. The insights gained from this problem are used in the design of a centralized MPC controller for a four node problem involving two interconnected Fab/Sort and Assembly/Test facilities. In this latter problem, inventory management of wafer, die, and package inventories are considered.

In this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. Each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. Therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...

Supply chains are large-scale distribution networks in which multiple types of commodities are present. In this paper, the operations management in supply chains is posed as a tracking control problem. All inventory levels in the network should be kept as close as possible to the desired values over time. The supply chain state is disturbed due to client demand at the end nodes. A multiagent co...
