- A Hybrid Approach to Manufacturing Enterprise Simulation
- Manufacturing enterprise decisions can be classified into four groups: business decisions, design decisions, engineering decisions, and production decisions. Numerous physical and software simulation techniques have been used to evaluate specific decisions by predicting their impact on the system as measured by one or more performance measures. This paper focuses on...

- Realizing 300mm Fab Productivity Improvements Through Integrated Metrology
- The operational cost of 300mm wafer production is significantly greater than that of 200mm fabs. Real-time monitoring of product can save time and money through reduced scrap and decreased cycle time. Current process monitoring generally incorporates stand-alone metrology, which is time consuming and requires excessive wafer handling by production operators....

- Sales-Force Decision Models: Insights from 25 Years of Implementation
- "Content insights are useful in making sales-force decisions. Examples are that profitability is flat for a wide range of sales-force sizes; phased sales-force growth is rarely optimal; focused strategies dominate scattered strategies; most sales territories (55 percent) are too large or too small; and no compensation plan satisfies everyone....

- Using Simulation to Support Implementation of Flexible Manufacturing Cell
- A simulation model was developed and tested using Taylor II to justify the implementation of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell FMC. The current production capacity at the existing Continuous Flow CF assembly line must be increased and among other proposals, a FMC is highly recommended. Simulation models are developed tested, verified,...
