Abstract

This paper presents a framework for production planning for a Slim MES(Manufacturing Execution System) of module operations in TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) production lines. There are differences in the line configurations and functions among the module operations in the TFT-LCD production systems. This paper presents the framework for the customized MES reflecting these differences. First, a production process is figured out through the analysis of the TFT-LCD module operations. Next, a mathematical modeling is presented reflecting the constraints of shop floors and an optimal schedule is presented through a case example. And a scheduling process using the dispatching rules reflecting the status of shop floors is presented and the performances are measured and compared. Finally, a design process for the Slim MES framework is presented.

본 논문에서는 TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) 제조 공정 중 Module 공정의 Slim MES(Manufacturing Execution System)를 위한 생산계획 프레임워크(framework)개발에 관해 연구한다. TFT-LCD 제조 공정 중 Module 공정의 라인 구성 및 기능은 각 제조 현장마다 차이가 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 차이를 반영하는 제조현장 맞춤형 MES를 위한 생산계획 프레임워크를 제시한다. 먼저 TFT-LCD Module 공정의 분석을 통해 생산계획 프로세스를 파악한다. 그런 다음 현장 상황 제약조건을 반영한 수리적 모델링을 제시하고 이에 대한 최적 스케줄의 도출을 사례를 통해 제시한다. 또한 현장 상황을 반영한 디스패칭(dispatching) 룰에 의한 스케줄 생성 과정을 제시하고 성능실험 결과를 제시한다. 마지막으로 Slim MES를 위한 생산계획 프레임워크 설계 과정을 제시한다.
