ABSTRACT
Total integration of a Fab plant’s technology at a central control point must be every plant manager’s dream. A single computer facility obtaining information from every aspect of machine and operator performance and using this data to control production efficiency is discussed. The advantages of such a system are highlighted especially those for maximizing profits and reducing production costs. The author has developed a system which offers these abilities now, with the addition of several other attractive feature s which can bring a highly desirable tool for the use of harassed plant management teams.
