...Yung‐Tsan Jou; Hui‐Ming Wee; Hsiao‐Ching Chen; Yao‐Hung Hsieh; Laurence Wang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to create a usable life forecast model for consumable parts using neural network approach. It focuses on a consumable probe card used in the semiconductor wafer testing operation...

... supply chain management (SCM) practices which have emerged in recent years, such as collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment. Moreover, a second research opportunity lies in investigating the mixes of SCM initiatives – among which is also the extended VMI – needing launch in a perspective...

...T.A. Spedding; K.K. Chan Discusses the development and evaluation of a forecasting model for inventory management in an advanced technology batch production environment. Traditional forecasting and inventory management do not adequately address issues relating to a short life cycle and to non...

...Wang Bo; Luo Yimei; Wang Yuning This paper improved the self‐adaptive filter‐forecasting model that is one of deterministic constant parameter forecasting models. An attenuation/gain function is drawn into a direct iteration search method that belongs to the multi‐variables extreme value research...
