Efficient scheduling policies to reduce mean and variance of cycle-time in semiconductor manufacturing plants
1994
IEEE transactions on semiconductor manufacturing
Major fab scheduling problems include how wafers should be released into a fab and how they should be dispatched among machines for processing. A popular practitioners' approach for scheduling the production in a fab is to select from the many empirical scheduling rules available for IC fabs. To quickly select a good enough scheduling rule from a rule library, Hsieh et al. developed a fast simulation tool (Figure 1 ) based on the ordinal optimization (OO) method [HCC99] .
