Construction and Management of IC Production Lines

The construction and management of the IC production line is a series of complex and systematic activities executed by the clearly defined responsible organizations. Before starting the construction, all the technical requirements, quality, maintainability, and cost need to be carefully planned and designed. Then the bidding of engineering projects shall be open, fair, and honest, and the construction must be performed strictly in accordance with national laws and local regulations. This chapter introduces the major management concepts over the whole construction project, respectively, such as construction management, contract management, schedule control, quality and safety management, and the finally monitoring of central supply systems. Since each construction and regulation activity can have significant impact on the overall schedule and cost, it is essential to plan in advance and manage strictly the entire construction project.
