A review on strategic capacity planning for the semiconductor manufacturing industry

Capacity planning in supply chains of mineral resources

“…Constraints (11) to (15) are similar to constraints (6) to (10) and differ only in that they consider pairs of adjacent periods. Thus, these constraints restrict the total capacity, in each pair of adjacent periods, for the loading points, dumpers, stackers, junctions and wagons.…”

“…Thus, an obvious related area is manufacturing with its multi-stage production processes. However, these publications either do not take into account enough details of transportation which, in supply chains of mineral resources, involves trains and a railway network, or are concerned with cyclical production (see for example the survey [10]). Also, the common practice in capacity planning in manufacturing settings is to replace a sequence of operations by a set of operations or even to aggregate sequences of operations into a single operation.…”

A capacity constrained production-inventory system with stochastic demand and production times

“…The planning of capacity investments has been considered in several papers. A recent review of strategic capacity planning is given by Geng and Jiang (2009). Vits et al (2007) provide a model to study myopic and long-term process change strategies.…”

Heuristic Algorithm for a WIP Projection Problem at Finite Capacity in Semiconductor Manufacturing

“…Mixed-integer programming (MIP) models are developed for strategic planning in order to maximize the profit ( [27], [28], [29]) or to minimize the machine tool operating costs, new tool acquisition costs, and inventory holding costs taking into account capacity constraints [30]. A good source of previous work related to more strategic capacity planning is provided by Geng and Jiang [31].…”
