Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention fill the need of properly controlling product inventory of semiconductor chips by providing methods and systems of dynamic inventory control. The methods and systems timely modify parameters affecting inventory. The parameters may include target inventory, cycle time, wafer start, future inventory and future shipment. In addition, the methods and systems gather real-time customer demand forecast to assist in production planning and adjustment. Further, the methods and systems identify inventory control turning points dynamically to adjust production activities to prevent overstock and to prevent stockout.
