Evaluation Of Scheduling Strategies On The Performance Of A Flexible Manufacturing Cell:A Simulation Study, Amr Arisha, Paul Young, Mohie El Baradie Jan 2003

Evaluation Of Scheduling Strategies On The Performance Of A Flexible Manufacturing Cell:A Simulation Study, Amr Arisha, Paul Young, Mohie El Baradie

Conference papers

The current trend in semiconductor manufacturing is characterized by expanding product variety, decreasing lead times from order to delivery, exacting standards of quality, and competitive prices. One possible means of achieving this is in the form of increased flexibility. Providing flexibility is typically an expensive proposition so, industrial engineers aim to provide more economic approaches to enable flexible manufacturing cells and related equipment to operate appropriately in an efficient manner. It is essential to characterize these tools in detail before the production plans are finalized. Using state-of-the-art computer simulation, a generic model of photolithography tools has been developed. The model …

Simulation Activity Diagrams, John Ryan, Cathal Heavey

Conference papers

This paper presents a technique, Simulation Activity Diagrams (SAD), developed to lessen the modelling burden during the initial requirements gathering phases of a simulation project. The technique also allows the capture and visual communication of detailed information, to manufacturing personnel, which may otherwise be lost in detailed programming code.
