Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for implementing an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for creating a data file for product and process configuration. The data file could contain information relating to how a given product is to be made, such as a list of components and how they are to be assembled (“routings”). The GUI according to embodiments of the present invention reduces the amount of user manipulation required as compared with the prior art. According to the embodiments, a user is presented with a single screen display that lets the user maintain component lists and associated routings with simple, high-level input values.

Abstract: A method and system for integrating cost when an order is changed and the order is currently in production using a flexible order transaction system involving the detailed mapping of the costs to the yield and scrap that are transferred as a result of the change in the order. The transfer from the original order to the new order occurs at several mapped reporting points as a result of the order change.

Abstract: A method and system for splitting an order in a flexible order transaction system where yield, scrap, and work-in-process (WIP) are calculated for reporting points in the parent order process and certain yield, scrap, and/or work-in-process units are transferred from reporting points in the parent order to mapped reporting points in the child order. The transfer from the parent order to the child order being possible at several mapped reporting points for the single split order action. If the WIP to be transferred at a mapped reporting point exceeds the available WIP, WIP may be taken from preceding or subsequent reporting points.

Abstract: A method and system for changing an order for a product where production of the order is currently in progress in a flexible order transaction system and where yield, scrap, and work-in-process (WIP) are calculated for reporting points in the order process and are transferred to the new order for the new product. The transfer from the original order to the new order occurs at several mapped reporting points in the product change action. Unmapped scrap, WIP, and/or component and resource usage may be transferred to the new order at preceding or subsequent mapped reporting points from the original order to the new order.

Abstract: A method and system for merging an order with a surviving order where production of the order is currently in progress in a flexible order transaction system where yield, scrap, and work-in-process (WIP) are calculated for reporting points in the merging order process and yield, scrap, and work-in-process units are transferred from reporting points in the merging order to reporting points in the surviving order. The transfer from the merging order to the surviving order occurring at several mapped reporting points for the single merge order action. Unmapped scrap, WIP, and/or component and resource usage may be transferred to the surviving order at preceding or subsequent mapped reporting points in the merging order.

Abstract: It is possible to predict with acceptable accuracy the time to failure of a device having a thin gate dielectric in a field effect transistor. Such prediction is based on the realization that for such thin dielectric multiple dielectric breakdown occurs before device failure ensues and that measurement of the device quiescent current flow provides the information necessary for such prediction. The ability to make reliable prediction allows improvement of device design, manufacture, and use.
