Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the book. Therefore, we start by discussing motivation for modeling and analysis of semiconductor manufacturing. Semiconductor manufacturing is an extreme environment for production planning and control, scheduling, and simulation models. The enormous size of the facilities and supply chains in the semiconductor industry, the permanent appearance of uncertainty, and rapid technological changes lead to an environment that brings approaches developed for other industries under stress (see Chien et al. [49] for a related discussion). The capital intensive nature of the semiconductor industry requires manufacturing systems to run consistently at high utilization levels, reentrant flows create complex competition for limited resource capacity, and the ever-increasing level of automation reduces the ability to rely solely on people for production planning and control. Models that are successful in the semiconductor industry will likely find reasonable applications in other areas. A second source of academic interest in modeling and analysis of semiconductor manufacturing is the insight that the semiconductor manufacturing environment initiates on the formulation of some problems that had not been widely studied in other industries (cf. Chien et al. [49]).
