Abstract
This paper evaluates dispatching rules and order release policies in two wafer fabrication facilities (thereafter referred to as ‘fab’) representing ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) and low-mix high-volume production. Order release policies were fixed-interval (push) release, and constant work-in-process (CONWIP) (pull) policy. Following rigorous fab modelling and statistical analysis, new composite dispatching rules were found to be robust for average and variance of flow time, as well as due-date adherence measures, in both production modes.
