Leveraging the power of DOE\u2019s computing infrastructure, including the world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, simulation models are used to accelerate advancements in nearly every field of research across DOE.

In thousands of detailed unit chemical and physical processes in cleanrooms and under statistical process control chips on wafers emerge and are assembled and tested to components. The Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM) conference embedded in the annual Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) was, is, and will be key to understand the optimization and simulation challenges in this domain.<\/p>\n<p>The operating curve management targeting a low variability value and thus enabling a low flow factor &#8211; thus speed &#8211; and high utilization &#8211; thus a good cost position &#8211; at the same time has been an early achievement. With discrete-event, agent based, and system dynamic simulations on the four levels (machine, fab, internal and external supply chain) solution options for complex interactions could be proposed based on sophisticated mathematical models running on simulation testbeds like the MIMAC models and their successors. Accurate planning and advanced scheduling, available to promise (ATP) generation and usage with traditional or artificial intelligence (AI) \/ deep learning (DL) methods requires a huge amount of real data or qualified synthetic data (QSD).<\/p>\n<p>The semantic web for semiconductor and supply chain containing semiconductors bears the potential to enable the provision of those urgently needed QSD in volume, (integrated) complexity and accuracy needed. Quantum bit (qubit) based algorithm could provide the speed for the next and over-next generation for optimization and simulation in our domain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module accordion -->\n<div  class=\"module module-accordion tb_09t8798 \" data-behavior=\"toggle\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    \n    <ul class=\"ui module-accordion   blue\">\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-09t8798-0\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-09t8798-0-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-fas-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-fas-minus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    Bio                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-09t8798-0-content\" data-id=\"acc-09t8798-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                                    <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n                        <p><strong>Hans Ehm<\/strong> is Senior Principal Supply Chain of Infineon Technologies AG and there responsible for Supply Chain Innovations.

The mixture of live exercises with simulated components (constructive simulations and virtual simulators) allows for the creation of a context for the training or rehearsal that is richer and more representative of the real world than would be possible with only live events. This ability to embed live activity into synthetic environment to provide realism has attracted the interest of the Test and Evaluation community (T&amp;E) and recently there are increasing efforts to start including LVC in the T&amp;E tool suite.

More specifically, he focuses on complementing the modelling power of computer simulation with efficient analysis methodologies to study the dynamic behaviour of complex systems such as supply chains and social networks, which, in turn, enables robust design and effective management of these ecosystems. More recently, he has been focusing on agricultural supply chains to address key challenges such as identification of robust parent seeds, farmer contracting, small holder management, and production and inventory planning under increasing volatility driven by population dynamics and climate change.

In thousands of detailed unit chemical and physical processes in cleanrooms and under statistical process control chips on wafers emerge and are assembled and tested to components. The Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM) conference embedded in the annual Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) was, is, and will be key to understand the optimization and simulation challenges in this domain.<\/p> <p>The operating curve management targeting a low variability value and thus enabling a low flow factor - thus speed - and high utilization - thus a good cost position - at the same time has been an early achievement. With discrete-event, agent based, and system dynamic simulations on the four levels (machine, fab, internal and external supply chain) solution options for complex interactions could be proposed based on sophisticated mathematical models running on simulation testbeds like the MIMAC models and their successors. Accurate planning and advanced scheduling, available to promise (ATP) generation and usage with traditional or artificial intelligence (AI) \/ deep learning (DL) methods requires a huge amount of real data or qualified synthetic data (QSD).<\/p> <p>The semantic web for semiconductor and supply chain containing semiconductors bears the potential to enable the provision of those urgently needed QSD in volume, (integrated) complexity and accuracy needed.

The mixture of live exercises with simulated components (constructive simulations and virtual simulators) allows for the creation of a context for the training or rehearsal that is richer and more representative of the real world than would be possible with only live events. This ability to embed live activity into synthetic environment to provide realism has attracted the interest of the Test and Evaluation community (T&amp;E) and recently there are increasing efforts to start including LVC in the T&amp;E tool suite.
