Abstract
The method presented in this paper is based on deducing a network graph from an automated material handling system in order to utilize algorithms from graph theory. An optimization process is built on this network structure enabling an improvement of AMHS system performance prior to employment of dynamic simulations. Run time in a static simulation is significantly shorter than that of dynamic simulations, thus this approach provides improvements not previously achievable. These may then later be analyzed and validated in dynamic simulations. The achievements of this method are demonstrated in a case study of a running semiconductor Fab. The throughput limit of the AMHS was able to be increased by nearly 20% without negative impact on delivery times.
