Abstract: | To quickly and accurately estimate the expected work-in-process (WIP)of material intersection points in continuous automated material handling systems (AMHSs) ,a queuing-based performance analytical model was presented for continuous flow transporters (CFTs) . In the modeling procedure which considered layout of crossovers and the variability of service time of turntables, an M /G /1 queuing model with multi-class customers and a non-preemptive priority M /G /1 queuing model with multi-class customers were introduced to accurately present the queuing WIP of each material intersection point and perform the analytical model. Finally,300 mm wafer fabrication facilities (fabs)with 24 bays were applied to evaluating the proposed model. Compared with results of an Arena simulation, the model performs well in evaluating the number of queuing WIP of the intersection points and overall system of CFTs in AMHSs. |
