Online Workshop: Transform Semiconductor Fab Operations with Advanced Scheduling
This interactive online workshop is designed for industrial engineers and automation specialists eager to move beyond ad hoc control systems and implement full-fab scheduling solutions — driving consistency, optimizing work-in-progress (WIP) flow, and boosting overall fab performance.
What will be covered:
- Techniques to configure scheduling for key metrics like throughput, cycle time, and on-time delivery
- Best practices for streamlining batch processes and forecasting bottlenecks
- Practical examples, including reticle management and batching, that demonstrate measurable KPI improvements
Key Topics:
- Core APS concepts: predictive list scheduling, mathematical optimization and bottleneck anticipation
- Real-world case studies and success stories from industry peers
- Hands-on scheduler configuration — from single tool groups to full-fab scheduling
- Experimenting with planning strategies and optimization techniques tailored to complex semiconductor environments
This online session will provide actionable insights and tools you can immediately apply to improve throughput, reduce cycle time, enhance equipment utilization, and manage inventory more effectively. You'll gain first-hand experience with SYSTEMA APS and learn how leading fabs are using scheduling to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and maximize profitability.
By the end of the workshop, participants will walk away with:
- A clear understanding of how advanced scheduling transforms fab operations
- The skills to configure and optimize schedulers for different production scenarios
- Insights into how your peers are solving common challenges with scalable scheduling solutions
