Markov Process Modeling of A System Under WIPLOAD Control
Qi, Chao; Appa Iyer, Sivakumar; Ganesan, Viswanath Kumar (2005-01)This paper analyzes a proposed release controlmethodology, WIPLOAD Control (WIPLCtrl), using a transfer line case modeled by Markov process modeling methodology. The performance of WIPLCtrl is compared with that of CONWIP ... -
Optimal Methodology for Synchronized Scheduling of Parallel Station Assembly with Air Transportation
Ganesan, Viswanath Kumar; Li, Kungpeng; Appa Iyer, Sivakumar (2005-01)We present an optimal methodology for synchronized scheduling of production assembly with air transportation to achieve accurate delivery with minimized cost in consumer electronics supply chain (CESC). This problem was ... -
Performance of a Serial-Batch Processor System with Incompatible Job Families under Simple Control Policies
Tajan, John Benedict Cheng; Appa Iyer, Sivakumar; Gershwin, Stanley B. (2006-01)A typical example of a batch processor is the diffusion furnace used in wafer fabrication facilities (otherwise known as wafer fabs). In diffusion, silicon wafers are placed inside the furnace, and dopant is flown through ... -
Scheduling of Batch Processors in Semiconductor Manufacturing – A Review
Mathirajan, M.; Appa Iyer, Sivakumar (2003-01)In this paper a review on scheduling of batch processors (SBP) in semiconductor manufacturing (SM) is presented. It classifies SBP in SM into 12 groups. The suggested classification scheme organizes the SBP in SM literature, ...
