LCD Market Expands

01/01/2000

Bountiful, Utah-based AutoSimulations Inc. has shipped its first real-time scheduling software to the liquid crystal display (LCD) industry via an order from Korea`s Samsung LCD. The software will be implemented to improve productivity, increase throughput and reduce work-in-process (WIP) and cycle time. The demand for LCDs is said to be fueled by an increase of 20 percent in wafer fabrication throughput and a concomitant decrease of 40 percent in WIP and cycle time.
