Systems of demand and capacity management with machine-time accuracy are provided. The system includes an allocation planning module, an order management module, a capacity model, and a capacity management module. The allocation planning module receives a demand plan for a product. The capacity management module transforms the demand plan into a machine-time-based plan according to the capacity model, and reserves capacity according to the machine-time-based plan for the demand plan. The capacity management module further transforms a purchase order received by the order management module before a cutoff date for the product into a machine-time-based order, accepts the machine-time-based order and decreases the reservation capacity depending on the machine-time-based plan.

System and method of demand and capacity management

A production management system is configured to dynamically control inventory of a semiconductor product to prevent overstock and stockout. The production management system includes a production planning module including components containing data of demand forecast, and customer order. The production management system further includes a dynamic inventory control module including a dynamic inventory control simulation module and an inventory management system, wherein the inventory management system is configured to record real inventory data, and wherein the dynamic inventory control simulation module includes simulators for target inventory, future inventory, future shipment and semiconductor product production.

Methods and systems for dynamic inventory control

The embodiments of the present invention fill the need of properly controlling product inventory of semiconductor chips by providing methods and systems of dynamic inventory control. The methods and systems timely modify parameters affecting inventory. The parameters may include target inventory, cycle time, wafer start, future inventory and future shipment. In addition, the methods and systems gather real-time customer demand forecast to assist in production planning and adjustment. Further, the methods and systems identify inventory control turning points dynamically to adjust production activities to prevent overstock and to prevent stockout.

A new business model of supply chain management for IC foundry and a system and method of demand and capacity management with machine-time accuracy are provided. The system includes an allocation planning module, an order management module, a capacity model, and a capacity management module. The allocation planning module receives a demand plan for a product. The capacity management module transforms the demand plan into a machine-time-based plan according to the capacity model, and reserves capacity according to the machine-time-based plan for the demand plan. The capacity management module further transforms a purchase order received by the order management module before a cutoff date for the product into a machine-time-based order, accepts the machine-time-based order and decreases the reservation capacity depending on the machine-time-based plan.

A system for customized document portfolio management. Corresponding methods and user interfaces are provided accordingly for allowing customized document portfolio management. In an preferred embodiment the system includes a document metadata database storing a plurality of documents and meta information thereof, a management server programmed to rule engine, search, security engine and notification engines, and a web server providing an interactive website for displaying documents and allowing creation of a customized portfolio. The customized portfolio management system preferably provides notification on the website, apprising users of changes in the status of their documents. Unique technical identification codes may be used to establish relationships among document.

System, method, and user interface providing customized document portfolio management

Within both a method for controlling microelectronic fabrication production and a system for controlling microelectronic fabrication production there is developed and evaluated for a plurality of microelectronic fabrication facilities a plurality of demand, allocation and output management plans prior to assigning and entering within at least one microelectronic fabrication facility a microelectronic fabrication order. The development and evaluation of the plurality of demand, allocation and output management plans provides for enhanced flexibility when assigning and entering the microelectronic fabrication order.
