    摘要: There is a jump in the number of devices formed on a single wafer, and it takes a lot of time to inspect a single wafer. In addition, if wafers are inspected every lot, detected wafers remain in staying in a prober until the inspection of all of the wafers is completed. Therefore, the time required to transfer the wafers of each lot to the subsequent step is delayed. As a result, it is difficult to shorten TAT (Turn-Around-Time), and it is difficult to flexibly operate the prober.A transfer system E according to the present invention includes: a host computer 1; a plurality of probers 2 under the control of the host computer 1; a plurality of RGVs 4 for delivering a wafer W to each of the probers 2, one by one, at its request; and a transfer operating unit 5, associated with the host computer, for operating the RGVs 4. The transfer operating unit 5 has a scheduler 54A and a dispatcher 54B, for preparing an operating schedule for each of the RGVs 4 on the basis of the relationship in position between each of the probers 2 and each of the RGVs 4, and for determining optimum transfer paths for the RGVs 4, to assign a corresponding one of the RGVs 4 to a corresponding one of the optimum transfer paths.

    摘要: A demand-driven, mixed-model manufacturing line design system utilizes Demand Flow Technology to design an efficient mixed-model manufacturing line. Concurrent manufacture of several products in a continuous flow, mixed-model product line designed utilizing the design system exhibits essentially none of the inefficiencies associated with mixed-model, batch-oriented manufacturing lines. The method according to the present invention includes a product synchronization step for synchronizing product flow between unit processes, a resource balancing step to ensure sufficient resources are provided at each process, thereby reducing the product cycle time at each process to be approximately equal to an operational cycle time calculated for each process, a cell definition step for consolidating constant volume processes, an operational definition step for grouping tasks associated with the consolidated processes within each cell, and an operation balancing step for defining additional cells based on actual product cycle time diversity. A design system according to this invention includes a computer system wherein machine readable code accessible to the computer system enables execution of the above described method.

    摘要: Generating data used in planning the execution of a manufacturing process includes consistency checks that are performed on proposed groupings of manufacturing operations to make sure that the groupings are defined in a way that enables the information to be aggregated for use in planning. To do this, defined groupings are received for multiple execution-level manufacturing operations that are defined in a manufacturing process execution-level electronic data model and that define a process flow to produce a product. In one aspect, for each of the defined groupings, it is determined whether the defined grouping includes multiple occurrences of a process step definition that has multiple different defined alternative steps, and if so, the defined groupings are changed so that each defined grouping of the defined groupings has no more than a single occurrence of a process step definition that has multiple different defined alternative steps.
