  • Decomposition system and method for solving a large-scale semiconductor production planning problem
    Patent number: 6701201
    Abstract: A method and system for efficient allocation of limited manufacturing resources over time to meet customer demand. At the enterprise planning level this typically requires determination of a feasible production schedule for an extended supply chain. The method and system utilizes a new and unique type of systematic decomposition based on both product and process considerations. This approach simultaneously reduces the model size (and therefore computation time) and increases modeling flexibility from strictly linear programming based decision making to include more general nonlinear programming characteristics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2004
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
