Simulation based FAB scheduler: SeePlan®
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 SeePlan as a standard advanced planning and scheduling solution and has used in several FAB factories around the world.

متن کاملSimplification Methods for Accelerating Simulation-Based Real-Time Scheduling in a Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Facility
This paper presents a real-time scheduling methodology in a semiconductor wafer fab that produces multiple product types with different due dates. In the suggested real-time scheduling method, lot scheduling rules and batch scheduling rules are selected from sets of candidate rules based on information obtained from discrete event simulation. Since a rule combination that gives the best perform...
متن کاملDesign of a Lagrangian relaxation-based hierarchical production scheduling environment for semiconductor wafer fabrication
This paper describes the design of a two-level hierarchical production scheduling engine, which captures the industrial practice of mass production semiconductor fabrication factories (fabs). The two levels of the hierarchy consist of a mid-term scheduler and a short-term scheduler, and are aimed at achieving coordination between the fab-wide objectives and local shop-floor operations. The mid-...
متن کاملProduction scheduling in a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility producing multiple product types with distinct due dates
This paper focuses on production scheduling in a semiconductor wafer fab producing multiple product types that have different due dates and different process flows. In the wafer fab, wafer lots are processed on serial and batch processing workstations, each of which consists of parallel identical machines. Machines in serial processing workstations process wafer lots one by one, while those in ...
