摘要:
A method and device comprises assigning process routings to the flows, applying range break rules to the flows based on the input data regarding operations and toolsets, and outputting the results of the applying step to provide range break boundaries.
摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for prioritizing a plurality of lots in a manufacturing process. Portions of a priority for each lot are created. The portions are combined to form a unique range priority for each lot. The range priorities may be used to equitable compare all of the active lots in a fabrication facility. The system and method may be implemented as part of a range management system.
摘要:
A system and method including identifying a stopped range, identifying at least one lot of WIP associated with the stopped range, and processing the at least one lot in at least one operation within the stopped range at a lower priority relative to other lots. The system and method may be implemented as part of a range management system.
摘要:
A system and method for driving new technology WIP at a controlled speed side-by-side with production WIP using a common range management infrastructure. The system and method allow new technology WIP and production WIP to be driven together in the same fabricator with the same degree of speed and predictability. The system and method may include at least one device configured to create a target based on a sum of active WIP targets for at least one route, find all lots of active WIP on the at least one route, tag each of the lots until a first occurrence of a sum of WIP of the tagged lots exceeds or equals the target, and assign a priority to each of the tagged lots based on a predetermined criteria.
摘要:
A method and apparatus comprises determining a number of planned starts of a product during a predetermined time period for future processing, averaging the number of planned starts for the predetermined time period, and setting a production rate for a first range based on the average number of planned starts.
