以代理人為基礎之晶圓代工廠換單模式之研究

Abstract

在競爭激烈的半導體產業中除製程技術外，如何滿足客戶成為重要的課題。 本研究以軟體元件實作一代理人基礎的換單系統。藉由客戶輸入的條件於發生換單需求時，考量製程、交期、客戶條件等因素自動由系統進行換單動作。由代理人程式以類似拍賣的方法得到一可能的產能提供者集合，以及評估客戶取得產能需要額外付出的代價。此結果提供晶圓廠作為與客戶協商時的參考。最終目的在於使晶圓廠能充分利用產能，且使產能需求者皆能順利取得產能，產能供應者也能由所出讓產能得到期望的利益，而達到三贏的局面。 在實作方面，以元件物件模型（COM）為核心，建構一具有可擴充性的系統。並使用網頁作為展示方式，方便使用者操作。後端則以SQL Server儲存系統所需的資料。以達成換單處理流程自動化的目的。

In the highly competitive semi-conductor industry, how to satisfy the customers' needs has become an important issue. This research is to construct an agent-based order exchange system. The constructed system can automatically exchange the customer’s newly input order by considering the conditions of manufacturing process, due-date, and other requests from the customer. The agent-based system can select a list of names from the production capacity owner of the Fab and then evaluate the opportunity cost to get the production capacity. Such result can be provided for the Fab as a decision making reference when they are dealing with customers. The objective of the system is to support the Fab and the customers to have a three-wins situation. That is, the Fab can fully utilize its production capacity, the customers who can yield further production capacity may get extra profit, and the customers who need production capacity can get what they want. The agent-based order exchange system is implemented by using the component-object based model as the kernel. The website presentation was adopted for easy-operation. The SQL server was used to storing all the resources for the system to support the auto-order exchange operation. Simulation result showed that the implemented prototype system worked quite well.
