Minimizing Makespan With Multiple Orders Per Job In A Two Machine Flowshop With Item Processing. In proceedings of the 2nd Multidisciplinary International Conference on Scheduling : Theory and Applications (MISTA 2005), 18 -21 July 2005, New York, USA, pages 288-298, 2005.
Paper
New semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities use Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) as a common unit of wafer transfer. Since the number of pods is limited due to high costs, and the increase in wafer size to 300-mm reduces the number of wafers required for a customer order, combining multiple orders into a single job is a necessity for efficient production. We investigate the multiple orders per job scheduling problem in the context of a 2-machine flowshop. A lower bound for the makespan performance measure is provided. An optimization model is presented that addresses both job formation and job sequencing.
