Abstract
The present invention discloses an allocation method for establishing a theoretical dispatching model for dynamically allocating the bottleneck resource according to the on-line current data. At first, the on-line current data are obtained from the bottleneck resource and those tools next to the bottleneck resource. Decision parameters such as the remaining processing time, buffer WIP of the tools next to bottleneck resource are sequentially derived by using the current data. Each tool next to the bottleneck resource is then determined to receive additional lots from the bottleneck resource or not. Finally, the bottleneck resource is reallocated to those tools that requires the lots from the bottleneck resource.
