Decision Support System: Real-Time Dispatch of Manufacturing Processes

Abstract

This research has highlighted the role of real-time dispatching (RTD) tools in the development of 300 mm manufacturing machinery systems. Dispatching production and distribution in the real-world 300 mm manufacturing environment is an extremely complex task requiring the consideration of numerous constraints and objectives. Decision support system (DSS) created for this purpose can potentially be used to provide support for related tasks, such as real-time optimization, operational planning, quality certificated, service and maintenance. The DSS comprises the ability to reinforce the RTD system which support both process operator and manager in the decision making process, allowing them to take full-scale of the physical system to implement it in a way where the optimized process control variables are under statistical control, resulting in optimized output that, in turn, secure higher productivity and improved quality.
