Abstract: Solving an integrated production and transportation problem (IPTP) is a very challenging task in semiconductor manufacturing with turnkey service. A wafer fabricator needs to coordinate with outsourcing factories in the processes including circuit probing testing, integrated circuit assembly, and final testing for buyers. The jobs are clustered by their product types, and they must be processed by groups of outsourcing factories in various stages in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the job production cost depends on various product types and different outsourcing factories. Since the IPTP involves constraints on job clusters, job-cluster dependent production cost, factory setup cost, process capabilities, and transportation cost with multiple vehicles, it is very difficult to solve when the problem size becomes large. Therefore, heuristic tools may be necessary to solve the problem. In this paper, we first formulate the IPTP as a mixed integer linear programming problem to minimize the total production and transportation cost. An efficient genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed next to tackle the problem when it becomes too complicated. The objectives are to minimize total costs, where the costs include production cost and transportation cost, under the environment with backup capacities and multiple vehicles, and to determine an appropriate production and distribution plan. The results demonstrate that the proposed GA model is an effective and accurate tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
