Title
Research Opportunities Regarding Tree and Network Productstructure Representations in a Semiconductor Supply Chain.
Abstract
Semiconductor manufacturing is highly complex, invest intensive and constantly changing due to innovation. The semiconductor product market is highly volatile due to short product life cycles with difficult-to-predict ramps and end-of-life demands. These challenges are mitigated via flexible production capabilities, e.g. dynamic routing or rescheduling, used by planning systems to transfer volatile demands to well-utilized factories. The product structure is one of the keys for enabling the desired result. Product structure representations include linear, tree, and network. In this paper, definitions of several product structure representations are given and hypothesized benefits and drawbacks are discussed. Research questions are posed, current research efforts are introduced, and the hypothesis that a time dependent network-tree representation would be beneficial is postulated. The problem statement is explained by a real case merger where risk and opportunities based on the choice of product structure representation were relevant and no final solution was determined.
