Considering the re-entrant process flow in wafer fabrication, we propose a scheduling method that divides the process flow into several stages and protects the bottleneck step at each re-entrant stage from the system fluctuations. Furthermore, due to the multiple bottlenecks in wafer fabrication system, we identify the bottlenecks by sensitivity analysis on machines' capacity. Then, during the real-time scheduling, the bottlenecks with stronger constraints are assigned with higher priority than the bottlenecks with weaker constraints. Finally, a set of simulation experiments are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2013 Springer-Verlag London. | Source Title: | International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/113196 | ISSN: | 02683768 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00170-013-4758-7 |
