Design and Development of Benchmark Environment and Optimization Tools for 300mm Foundry Manufacturing Service(2/3)

The second year designs and developments of an
environment for benchmarking optimization tools of
foundry manufacturing services have accomplished four
items to support the close-loop-control mechanism:
A1. three levels of processes (collaborative, analytic, and
operational) for three specific roles (subproject owner,
website manager, and system visitor),
A2. a framework for scalability
A3. the architecture for flexible integration of optimization
tools,
A4. web-based implementations of project repository
management, customized page editor, website
structure management, website explorer and generic
tool adaptor.
This system allows individual subproject owners to
incorporate and manage their latest research results of
optimization for benchmarking. Specific tools constructed
by individual subprojects for benchmarking include
1) a collaborative scheduling tool for semiconductor supply
chain,
2) an ordinal optimization-based policy iteration algorithm
for dynamic composition of production schedules,
3) a differentiated pre-emptive AMHS dispatching policy
and simulator for differentiated material handling
services, and
4) a confidence interval minimization-based sequential
experiment design procedure for the optimization of
multi-step processes.
