Systems and methods for determining production availability

Abstract

A system for managing production availability. A storage device stores a production entry corresponding to a client for production using a particular technology. The production entry comprises a demand profile and a production availability profile. The demand profile specifies the amount of capacity allocated support demand (CASD) for the client during a preset period, comprising a non-booked CASD and a booked CASD. The production availability profile specifies available-to-promise (ATP) production corresponding to the non-booked CASD, comprising production values specifying quantities of ATP production allocated to the client during different divisions of the preset period. The processor, connected to the storage device, updates an existing production availability profile according to an existing demand profile, wherein the production values of the updated production availability profile are determined according to the existing CASD profile and ratios of the production values of the existing production availability profile.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to resource planning, and more particularly to a management system and method for determining production available-to-promise in a manufacturing environment. Background technique [0002] In a complex manufacturing environment such as semiconductor manufacturing, it is very difficult to determine the production available to promise. At present, tools such as manual calculations and spreadsheets are usually used to confirm the production availability. Trial balances are often used to integrate supply and demand data to manage production capacity and obtain the correct production availability to promise. [0003] The tools currently used are mostly logic tools similar to computers to determine the production commitments corresponding to each customer. Generally speaking, the calculation of production available-to-promise is done on a regular basis (for example, confirmed once a month). Moreover, every time the production ...

[0004] As mentioned above, the traditional methods and systems for determining the production commitment volume cannot let customers know the production commitment volume that they can obtain in real time

Moreover, the confirmation procedure of the promised production volume is to add all unsatisfied requirements into the calculation, so that each time the promised production volume is confirmed, the amount of data that needs to be calculated is quite large, thus consuming a lot of computing resources and time
