Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for filtering lot schedules of a manufacturing facility. A first schedule is identified, in which the first schedule is a previously executed schedule. A processing device generates a pool of lots to be scheduled using information from the first schedule, in which the pool of lots is a subset of a plurality of lots associated with the first schedule. The processing device generates a second schedule using the pool of lots.
Claims20
A method for filtering a lot schedule of a manufacturing facility, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device, a first schedule, wherein the first schedule is a previously executed schedule;
- generating, by the processing device, a pool of lots to be scheduled using information from the first schedule, wherein the pool of lots is a subset of a plurality of lots associated with the first schedule;
- and
- generating, by the processing device, a second schedule using the pool of lots.
A system for filtering a lot schedule of a manufacturing facility comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, coupled to the memory, to:
- identify a first schedule, wherein the first schedule is a previously executed schedule;
- generate a pool of lots to be scheduled using information from the first schedule, wherein the pool of lots is a subset of a plurality of lots associated with the first schedule;
- and
- generate a second schedule using the pool of lots.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for filtering a lot schedule of a manufacturing facility, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to perform the operations of:
- identifying a first schedule, wherein the first schedule is a previously executed schedule;
- generating a pool of lots to be scheduled using information from the first schedule, wherein the pool of lots is a subset of a plurality of lots associated with the first schedule;
- and
- generating a second schedule using the pool of lots.
