Abstract
This study develops a decision support system for delivery mode based on the relationship of entire supply chain of backend in semiconductor industry. In particular, it is a critical decision for delivery mode including quantity and timing in the supply chain operations for semiconductor industry. In practice, the existing way relies on engineer's experience to making decisions and taking more than 4 hours to dispatch. This study aims to develop a decision support system for delivery mode embedded optimal dispatching model. And it enables to confirm relationship of entire supply chain having on game theory. We apply the DSS at a semiconductor backend to verify it in real setting. The results show that it can reduce efficiently either total cycle time or implement time of staff with cost-effective assignment. The developed DSS assists decision makers in making rapid and accurate decisions in real time given the circumstances of limited information of various order mix. © 2004 IEEE.
