Abstract: A system for exception management. The system comprises an input/output mechanism, a back-end server, and a management server. The input/output mechanism is configured to interface with a user and receive a requirement to suspend a progressing production. The back-end server provides online service according to the requirement. The management server estimates the impact of the required suspension on the production progress according to the requirement and a preset schedule of the production run.

Abstract: A customer-orientated manufacturing planning and controlling system. An order management module is programmed to receive an order for a product and reserve a capacity for the order based on a capacity model that considers a plurality of capacity vectors in a production system. A plan engine generates a fixed production schedule for the order based on the capacity model. A priority management engine provides a priority for the order. A production schedule monitor and evaluation module determines whether the order in process conforms to the fixed production schedule by statistical process control (SPC) and whether to adjust the fixed production schedule and to adjust the priority based on a dynamic achievement model of historical fixed production schedules, based on historical production information in a production database storing production information of the production system.

Abstract: A method for transferring production lots for experiment. An experiment request for a product is first received. A plurality of production lots corresponding to the product is then displayed showing which production lots presently being processed on a production line. At least one of the stages and at least one of the production lots that have not been processed at the stage are selected. Thereafter, a hold flag is set at the stage, such that the selected production lot is held for an experiment at the stage.

Abstract: A system and method for balancing production capacity between different production technologies. The system includes at least an order management module, a reservation module and a capacity management module. The order management module receives a first order, and generates a dummy order corresponding to the first order. The reservation module reserves a first capacity of a first production technology for the first order and a second capacity of a second production technology for the dummy order. The capacity management module cancels the first order and directs the dummy order to substitute the first order if a second order requesting the first production technology is received, and releases the first capacity to fulfill the second order.

Abstract: A system and method for capacity management. The system includes at least an order management module and a pull-in engine. The order management module receives at least a first order having a period delivery demand directing a supplier to deliver products corresponding to the order before the end of the period. The pull-in engine pushes out the first order, and directs capacity reserved for the first order to meet a second order with a pull-in demand or if a production event occurs.

Abstract: A system for planning and controlling a pull-in request of an order with demanded capacity in a production system. A plan engine is programmed to receive a pull-in request for the order, release original demanded capacity, reserve a capacity for the pull-in order, and generate a fixed production schedule for the pull-in order based on a capacity model that considers a plurality of capacity vectors in the production system. A production schedule monitor and evaluation module determines whether the relevant current pull-in order conforms to the fixed production schedule and whether to adjust the fixed production schedule when the relevant current pull-in order deviates from the fixed production schedule.

Abstract: A demand dispatch system to provide stable fabrication loading. The system includes a risk database recording risk information for a demand and an allocation planning module. The allocation planning module receives the demand, divides the demand into a low risk demand and a high risk demand according to the risk information, and then determines an expected quantity for a fabrication. The allocation planning module dispatches parts of the low risk demand and the high risk demand to the fabrication according to the expected quantity and the risk information.

Abstract: An air bag placed in a print cartridge and a method for manufacturing the same are provided, wherein a layered material with two faces of different ingredients are utilized. After cutting and opening of connection holes and air vent holes, flexible stacking according to the capacity requirement of the air bag and thermal pressuring are performed. Through the characteristic that two low-melting-point ingredients can be affixed together but two high-melting-point ingredients or a low-melting-point ingredient and a high-melting-point ingredient cannot be affixed together, the whole air bag can be integrally formed. The air bag forms a plurality of receiving rooms having connected air vent holes. The air bag can be folded up to make inflation and deflation, hence filling up the ink-storage capacity of the print cartridge. Moreover, the back pressure can be adjusted.
