The authors discuss the concept and design criteria for a framework that facilitates the performance assessment of shop-floor control systems. Their basic concept includes a simulation model that emulates the shop floor of a wafer fab, sends information to the control system, and receives information back from the control system. The shop-floor control system is realized as a separate module th...

In this paper we discuss the concept and design criteria for a framework that facilitates the performance assessment of shop-floor control systems. Our basic concept includes a simulation model that emulates the shop-floor of a wafer fab, sends information to the control system, and receives information back from the control system. The shop-floor control system is realized as a separate module...

in this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. in many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. in each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the other...
