반도체 라인 물류시스템에서의 할당문제 기반 차량 배차

This paper considers the vehicle dispatching problem in the automated material handling system (AMHS) of a large scale semiconductor fabrication line, which consists of 18 bays, 468 equipments and uses more than 130 overhead hoist transporters (OHT). We propose an assignment problem based vehicle dispatching approach to take advantage of simultaneous vehicle reassignment based on up-to-date system status. The proposed approach compares fsvorably with the shortest travel distance first rule and with the reassignment based rule which was recently proposed by the authors, in the number of vehicles required and the average lead time.
