Abstract
This paper evaluates dispatching rules and order release policies in two fabs representing two wafer fabrication modes, namely, ASIC and low-mix high-volume production. Order release policies were fixed-interval (push) release, and constant work-in-process, CONWIP (pull) policy. Following rigorous fab modeling and statistical analysis, new composite dispatching rules were found to be robust for system cycle time and due-date adherence measures, in both production modes.
