FMS를 비롯한 대부분의 제조시스템의 운용을 위해서는 크게 전략적 의사결저오가 전술적 읫사결저이 필요하며, 이 중 전술적 의사결증은 부품 선택, 생산율 결정, 부하할당, 부품 투입, 일정계획 문제등과 관련되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 부품투입시점과 부품투입순서에 의해 결정된 부품투입 정책이 시스템 성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서, 서울대학교부설 자동화시스템공동연구소(ASRI)내의 FMS/CIM Center를 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. ASRI-FMS /CIM Center 는 기계가공과 조립이 동시에 이루어지는 FMAS(Flexible Mauufacturing & Assembly System) 형태의 모형공장이며, 현재 세 종류의 모터 등을 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고려한 부품투입시점 전략으로는 고정 WIP(Work-in-process)유지전략 , 병목기계 전략, 일정비율 투입전략 등이며, 부품 투입순서 전략으로는 크게 주기적 투입전략과 비주기적 투입전략을 고려하였다. 또한 이러한 부품 투입정책들이 시스템 내에서 적용할 수 있는 여러 가지 우선순위규칙 등과 함께 사용될 때, 나타나는 상호관계를 파악하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 아울러 병목기계 추가도입, 물류운반시간의 감소 등과 같이 가능한 범위에서 현재의 시스템 조건이 바뀐 상황에 대해서도 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써, 추후 변경된 시스템에서도 본 연구의 결과가 적응될 수 있도록 하였다.

채석, 광물채광 등의 발파에서 생성된 파쇄 암석편들에 대한 정확한 파쇄도의 측정은 발파효율성 및 경제성을 평가하기 위한 수단으로 사용될 수 있다. 발파현장에서 파쇄도의 측정은 파쇄암석의 크기를 대상으로 이루어지며, 이러한 측정의 궁극적인 목표는 파쇄도에 대한 정확한 측정과 분석을 통하여 발파를 최적화시킴으로써 과파쇄에 의한 화약의 낭비, 과대한 암괴로 인한 운반경비의 증가, 분할을 위한 2차 발파나 추가파쇄를 위한 경비증가 등을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 선광 및 파쇄장비들의 과대한 마모방지와 품질의 균질성 확보를 위한 모니터링의 수단으로 사용될 수도 있다. 최근 파쇄도측정에 많이 사용되고 있는 기술중의 하나가 영상처리 시스템으로, 본 논문에서는 촬영조건 및 분석대상물 등의 변화에 따른 이 영상처리기법의 문제에 대한 언급보다는 영상처리기법에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 이 기법에 대한 설명과 상용 소프트웨어를 이용한 모델시험 및 채석현장에서 실시된 발파후의 파쇄암석들에 대한 파쇄도 분석에서의 문제점들에 대하여 언급하고자 한다.

In this paper, we investigate the effects of yield randomness for lot-sizing in a multi-stage production system. The practical importance of incorporating yield randomness into production models has been emphasized by many researchers. Yield randomness, especially in semiconductor manufacturing, poses a mojor challenge for production planning and control. The task becomes even more difficult if the demand for final product is uncertain. An attempt to meet the demand with a higher level of confidence forces one to release more input in the fabrication line. This leads to excessive work-in-process (WIP) inventories which cause jobs to spend unpredictably longer time waiting for the machines. The result is that it is more difficult to meet demand with exceptionally long cycle time and puts further pressure to increase the safety stocks. Due to this spiral effect, it is common to find that the capital tied in inventory is the msot significant factor undermining profitability. We propose a policy to determine the quantity to be processed at each stage of a multi-stage production system in which the yield at each stage may be random and may need rework.

In the flat panel display industry, to meet production target quantities and the deadline of production, the scheduler and dispatching systems are major production management systems which control the order of facility production and the distribution of WIP (Work In Process). Especially the delivery time is a key factor of the dispatching system for the time when a lot can be supplied to the facility. In this paper, we use survival analysis methods to identify main factors of the delivery time and to build the delivery time forecasting model. To select important explanatory variables, the cox proportional hazard model is used to. To make a prediction model, the accelerated failure time (AFT) model was used. Performance comparisons were conducted with two other models, which are the technical statistics model based on transfer history and the linear regression model using same explanatory variables with AFT model. As a result, the mean square error (MSE) criteria, the AFT model decreased by 33.8% compared to the statistics prediction model, decreased by 5.3% compared to the linear regression model. This survival analysis approach is applicable to implementing the delivery time estimator in display manufacturing. And it can contribute to improve the productivity and reliability of production management system.

This paper presents a bottleneck detection framework using simulation approach in a wafer FAB (Fabrication). In a semiconductor manufacturing industry, wafer FAB facility contains various equipment and dozens kinds of wafer products. The wafer FAB has many characteristics, such as re-entrant processing flow, batch tools. The performance of a complex manufacturing system (i.e. semiconductor wafer FAB) is mainly decided by a bottleneck. This paper defines the problem of a bottleneck process and propose a simulation based framework for bottleneck detection. The bottleneck is not the viewpoint of a machine, but the viewpoint of a step with the highest WIP in its upstream buffer and severe fluctuation. In this paper, focus on the classification of bottleneck steps and then verify the steps are not in a starvation state in last, regardless of dispatching rules. By the proposed framework of this paper, the performance of a wafer FAB is improved in on-time delivery and the mean of minimum of cycle time.

As power consumption increases, more power utilities are required to satisfy the demand and consequently results in tremendous cost to build the utilities. Another issue in construction of power utilities to meet the peak demand is an inefficiency caused by surplus power during non-peak time. Therefore, most power company considers power demand management with time-based electricity rate policy which applies different rate over time. This paper considers an optimal machine operation problem under the time-based electricity rates. In TOC (Theory of Constraints), the production capacities of all machines are limited to one of the bottleneck machine to minimize the WIP (work in process). In the situation, other machines except the bottleneck are able to stop their operations without any throughput loss of the whole manufacturing line for saving power utility cost. To consider this problem three integer programming models are introduced. The three models include (1) line shutdown, (2) block shutdown, and (3) individual machine shutdown. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed IP models through diverse experiments, by comparing with a TOC-based machine operation planning considered as a current model.
