摘要

TFT-LCD 陣列廠的設施規劃對於工廠整體的營運績效具有重要性的影響。本研究提出一套設施規劃程序模式，快速發展與評估 TFT-LCD 陣列廠建廠初始設計方案，依序提出快速且量化設施設計計算模式：各類型機台需求數、機台設置、物料流矩陣、工作區大小與方位、距離矩陣、 RGV 需求數以及玻璃平均移動距離。
本研究將依據TFT-LCD 陣列廠實際資料建立一套供業界認可之模式。實驗結果顯示本模式可有效且迅速提供決策者建廠初期所需之機台數及建廠相關參數。案例結果顯示 “Job shop with small bays” 可得較短之搬運距離，在 “Job shop with large bays” 可得較少 RGV 需求數，且藉由本研究所發展之模式，可快速且有效率的提供決策者設施規劃方案績效指標，以作為建廠初期，決策參考之依據。

Facility planning is crucial to the performance of array fabs in TFT-LCD industry. This research proposes a Fab Design Procedure (FDP) to conduct quick calculations to develop and evaluate initial design alternatives for TFT-LCD array fabs. A series of practical formulae are presented to sequentially determine the following design parameters: the required number of machines, machine allocation, interbay flow matrix, bay dimension and location, interbay distance matrix, the required number of Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV) in interbay material handling system, and the average sheet moving distance.
A case study of real fabs is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of FDP. Results indicate that FDP can quickly calculate the required number of machines and RGVs and related fab design parameters. “Job shop with small bays” leads to the least average sheet moving distance, while “Job shop with large bays” leads to the least required number of RGVs. With this tool, fab designers can evaluate design alternatives and conduct what-if analysis in the initial phase of fab design.
