Abstract:
A method for performing dynamic re-scheduling of priorities of work-in-process in a fabrication plant for manufacturing of a product comprising:reading a key stage report for said work-in-process and a master production schedule for said work-in-process from stored data, generating a master production schedule report from said key stage report and said master production schedule following only Due_Date data for said work-in-process, generating a work-in-process distribution matrix for integrating said master production schedule report with work-in-process quantity data within a deliverable cycle time, allocating selected lots from said work-in-process distribution matrix using a snake pattern method to allocate said selected lots from said matrix, change the due date for said selected lots of said work-in-process selected by said snake pattern method, and generating a final re-scheduling table for said work-in-process including said selected lots.
