title = "The prioritization of the unit loads in the semiconductor/LCD fabrication facility",
abstract = "The automated material handling systems today are playing ever more important roles in semiconductor/LCD fabrication facilities. Recently they became more flexible, intelligent, and speedy than in the past. The facilities have been fully automated because the size and weight of the unit loads used in the facilities were being increased beyond the limits that a human operator can handle. This research develops an efficient procedure to prioritize unit loads being delivered by the automated material handling system (AMHS). For this task, the research employs the event graph theory that has been successfully used in the both academia and industry. The developed procedure was applied to an actual LCD fabrication facility and improved the performance of an existing material handling system.",
