D-SIMCON Dynamic Capacity and Material Flow Performance (DCMF) Planner
Advanced Planning Solution for Dynamic Capacity Planning in Semiconductor Manufacturing
CHALLENGES
- Complex causalities: Advanced modelling and analysis techniques are required to portray and manage often non-intuitive interdependencies between capacity and cycle time.
- High-fidelity WIP flow simulations require data from multiple sources: Model generation, calibration and maintenance need to be highly automated.
- Dynamic simulation is compute-intensive: High degree of parallelisation is required to enable a variety of application use cases.
Solution
- D-SIMCON Dynamic Capacity and Material Flow Performance (DCMF) Planner is a powerful, simulation-based software solution to enable essential capacity planning and WIP flow optimisation use cases in Semiconductor Manufacturing where the interdependencies between fab capacity and cycle time are of importance.
