Abstract: A wrench includes a body having two openings. The body has a chamber in which two operation members are movably located. Each operation member has a first jaw and a second jaw respectively formed on two ends thereof. The first jaws each have a first face protruding out from the first opening. The second jaws each have a second face protruding out from the second opening. Two resilient members are located in the chamber and bias the two operation members to let the two first jaws and the two second jaws are opened wide. The first and second jaws each have slots which are engaged with the lips on each of the openings. The first jaws protruding from the opening form an open wrench, and the second jaws protruding from the other opening form another open wrench.

With the required tester configuration built into the product class and tester capability status built into the test equipment's properties, real-time lot-equipment dispatching can occur according to the configuration. A modified version can be supported by I-EDA and PCMS.

The program process begins by receiving at least one fabrication forecast describing scheduling and types of product lots that are predicted to be fabricated within a first period of time by the manufacturing enterprise from at least one order management system of the manufacturing enterprise. Rolling statistics of products lots fabricated during a second period of time are retrieved from a data retention device of the computer integrated manufacturing system. Capacity planning for the allocation of the product lot predicted to be fabricated by the manufacturing elements is performed.
