This research examines the performance of CONWIP versus "push" workload control in a simple, balanced manufacturing flowline. Analytical models and simulation experiment...
As an adaptation of the CONWIP concept, AMD has developed a heuristic approach to control the WIP in its wafer fabrication facilities (fabs). The so called "Loop Control"...
A typical wafer fab requires numerous decisions for daily operations. Even small decisions on system configurations may have significant impact on the overall fab performance. One...
