Control policies for scheduling of semiconductor manufacturing plants

We study the problem of scheduling large semiconductor manufacturing facilities which can be modeled as re-entrant lines and the stability of such re-entrant lines for several buffer priority and due-date-based policies subject to deterministic bursty arrivals. By stability, we mean that the work-in-process in the system is bounded for all time, or equivalently, the delay of a job flowing through the system is bounded. Not all buffer priority policies are stable, as witnessed by a counterexample which thus instigates the stability study.
