Continuous product individualization and customization led to the advent of lot size one in
production and ultimately to product-inherent uniqueness. As complexities in …

Semiconductor manufacturing systems consist of highly complex and constrained processes
owing to the requirement for high-quality wafers and dynamic customer orders. This study …

For the sake of product yield and quality considerations, time constraints (TCs) are imposed
between process operations in various multi-product manufacturing systems. Often …

This study considers a scheduling problem for a flow shop with urgent jobs and limited
waiting times. The urgent jobs and limited waiting times are major considerations for …

Asynchronous systems with deterministic processing times are critical for fabricating discrete
parts, especially in countries offering high salaries. Despite their widespread application, it is …

In this paper, we study the impact of critical queue time (CQT) constraints in semiconductor
wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs). Process engineers impose CQT constraints that …

One of the most complex and agile production environments is semiconductor
manufacturing, especially wafer fabrication, as products require more than several hundred …

Semiconductor manufacturing, commonly described as a complex job shop, contains
product-inherent constraints that amplify dispatching complexities. Most notably time …

This panel will discuss the inherent conflict between the application of (Discrete-Event)
Simulation and Scheduling techniques to manage and optimise capacity and material flow …

In wake of an ever increasing complexity the desire to move towards intelligently controlling
operations is amplified in manufacturing. Complex job shops mark the most complex …
