Simulation-Based Production Control In The Semiconductor Industry

The article deals with the development of simulation models for the semiconductor industry at the Technical University of Ilmenau. Hereby, the main focus is set on the development of methods and proceedings for the solution of the order sequencing problem. For this purpose the specific production conditions in a semiconductor factory have been analyzed. It was necessary to deduct various methods to represent all of these specific production conditions in one simulation model. Additionally to local methods the suggested solution integrates interaction and coordination methods as global oriented mechanisms into the problem solving concept
