Abstract
A method for processing workpieces in a process flow including a plurality of operations includes employing a fabrication simulation model of the process flow to determine an estimated completion time for a selected workpiece. The fabrication simulation model simulates the processing of the selected workpiece and other workpieces in the process flow through the plurality of operations. The priority of the selected workpiece is adjusted based on a comparison between a target completion time for the selected workpiece and the estimated completion time.
