Abstract
A scheduling problem for parallel batch processing machines (BPMs) with jobs having unequal ready times in semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) is studied in this paper. A blended objective function combining the total weighted tardiness (TWT) and the total electricity cost (TEC) under a time-of-use (TOU) tariff is considered. A genetic programming (GP) procedure is designed to automatically discover priority indices for a heuristic scheduling framework. Results of computational experiments are reported that demonstrate that the learned priority indices lead to high-quality schedules in a short amount of computing time.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing addresses the challenging problems of manufacturing complex microelectronic components, especially very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Manufacturing these products requires precision micropatterning, precise control of materials properties, ultraclean work environments, and complex interactions of chemical, physical, electrical and mechanical processes.
