Application of Logistics Simulations for Scaling Up a Semiconductor Pilot Line: A Case Study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperpeer-review

Abstract

Our study presents a comprehensive approach to upscaling pilot lines in the semiconductor industry, combining logistics simulation with discrete event simulation (DES) to achieve operational excellence. Based on both existing literature and partner company requirements, our five-step methodology facilitated the transition of a pilot line to medium-volume series production within a brownfield factory environment. We validated the effectiveness of DES in production planning and control (PPC) and demonstrated its application in a real-world planning task encompassing multiple facets of production system planning and optimization. Given the expected increase in brownfield factory planning within the semiconductor industry, our structured methodology provides a valuable pathway to enhance operational efficiency and competitiveness in that context. This case study underscores the vital role of DES in optimizing production systems, enabling informed decision-making and significant cost savings.
