To maximize the utilization of the bottleneck workstation,and achieve a high throughput as well as a reasonable cycle time,a heuristic algorithm was put forward for determining the right time buffer before the bottleneck workstation in semiconductor wafer fabrication system.Firstly,a G/G/m queuing model is proposed based on the queuing theory and the system's random variability.Secondly,according to the characteristics of reentrance of the bottleneck workstation,a time buffer decomposition method is presented.On the basis of the work mentioned above,a heuristic algorithm is built for determining the reasonable time buffer.Finally,a release policy is proposed based on the time buffer,and a simulation experiment is designed to evaluate the proposed algorithm.The results indicate that the algorithm is valid and feasible.
