Project Goals

1. Design and implement a production scheduling policy that minimizes schedule disruption associated with rerunning products that have experienced low/no yield.
2. Revamp inventory safety stocking policies that reflect the statistical variability of the process and followup testing.

Project Progress

The information necessary to support and accomplish the goals above will be the makeup of a master thesis to be completed Spring 1997.
1. The scheduling policy has been implemented with success.
2. The safety stocking policy remains to be clearly defined.
