ABSTRACT
This article takes a pragmatic approach to the consideration of Windows NT as the platform of choice for a computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) application framework for fab and assembly operations. Readers will be encouraged to look at the present state of Windows NT, specifically as it relates to business- and systems-level requirements in semiconductor manufacturing. The focus is placed on key issues that manufacturers should consider when evaluating Windows NT as the platform for a homogeneous, component-based CIM architecture with a manufacturing execution system at its core.
