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/software.htm.
About FabTime Inc.
FabTime Inc. is the first company to focus solely on
the challenging problem of cycle time management for
semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities. Unlike
traditional reporting tools, which were designed for
industrial engineers and IT specialists, FabTime’s
software is designed for hands-on use by fab managers. The
company’s website is located at www.FabTime.com.
