FabTime Donates Cycle Time Management Software to Arizona State University
Menlo Park, CA | December 19, 2001
FabTime Inc. today announced that it had donated a license for its FabTime cycle time management software to Arizona State University. The software will be used by the Modeling and Analysis for Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM) Lab within the Department of Industrial Engineering.
Professor John Fowler, co-director of the MASM Lab said, “Among other things, we intend to use FabTime to support our research in wafer fab scheduling. We may be able to use the software to identify trigger points for rescheduling, based on fab conditions.”
“We are looking forward to working with Arizona State,” said Jennifer Robinson, Chief Operating Officer of FabTime. “FabTime analyzes work-in-process levels and tool state information in real time. Using this information to trigger rescheduling seems like an exciting new application of FabTime’s technology.”
A form for requesting more information about the software, including university licensing options, is available at www.FabTime.com.
