Modeling the impact of new product introduction on the output of semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities
We consider the problem of managing output in semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities when a new product is introduced alongside a current product. We propose a mathematical model of the impact of the new product on the distribution of the effective processing time, and use a simple Excel simulation to illustrate the impact of different release control policies on output under product transitions.
