Graphical manufacturing monitoring system

This paper presents the development and implementation of Motorola's Graphical Manufacturing Monitoring System (GraMMS) that provides real-time graphical monitoring of manufacturing data including work-in-process (WIP), equipment, and throughput. GraMMS consists of three main applications namely; WIP Monitoring System (WMS), Equipment Management System (EMS), and Throughput Monitoring System (TMS). GraMMS provides Motorola wafer fabs with instant data-driven decision support as well as trend analysis. This competitive advantage increases output, decreases cycle time, and improves resource utilization.
