After a major fab incident (such as a breakdown of a bottleneck tool) the best sequence of recovery actions can be determined to make sure that WIP bubbles can be depleted as quickly as possible. Such recovery actions can comprise activation of backup tools, temporary adaptation of dispatch policies, adjustment of wafer start plan, alteration of Preventive Maintenance timing, adjustment of sampling rate for inspection and measurement, etc.
