Keywords: Combinatorial optimization, production planning, decomposition approaches, semiconductor manufacturing.
Objectives of the PhD thesis :
In semiconductor manufacturing, operational production planning is the bridge between tactical production planning, which defines the delivery and production start plans, and local scheduling decisions. Operational production planning considers the detailed characteristics of the manufacturing facility (product routes, machines, operation eligibility, etc.) to define production targets to manage control flows. This function is currently provided by a homemade tool, whose heuristic approach is running out of steam. A recent PhD thesis with Mines Saint-Etienne proposed a novel optimization approach, and recent studies have shown the possibility of extending this approach to industrial data from the Crolles300 manufacturing facility. The objective of the thesis is to build on this work to propose a new production planning approach to provide production plans that consider the constraints and optimize various indicators such as the linearity of the fab, the control of the cycle times, the respect of the delivery dates, the use of the machines, the satisfaction of time constraints, etc.
Candidate profile:
Applicants must have a Master Degree (or equivalent) in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Computer Sciences or any related discipline. Applicants should demonstrate good programming skills and a deep knowledge in combinatorial optimization and integer programming.
Application procedure:
Please send your application electronically (preferably as a single pdf file) including a detailed curriculum vitae and examination results, plus, if available, a list of reference letters and copies of diploma, to: Nabil ABSI (absi@emse.fr). The position will remain open until fulfilled.
