Abstract
Ramping up a semiconductor wafer fabrication (fab) facility is a challenging endeavor. One of the key components of this process is scheduling multiple resources to install and qualify capital intensive and sophisticated manufacturing equipment which is necessary to produce integrated circuits. We approach this problem by modeling it as a resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). We extend the classical RCPSP model to handle special aspects of the semiconductor environment such as multiple resource calendars, time-varying resource constraints, alternative activity processing modes, controllable activity durations, etc. In order to illustrate the problem solving approach, we provide a mixed integer linear programming model and a simple computational example. We consider two objectives in the research: reducing project makespan and minimizing resource costs.
