Description

In the context of the European project MOSAIC, we aim to develop data-driven and interpretable models, based on process mining and Petri Nets, for the analysis and decision support of complex semiconductor manufacturing processes, with particular attention to quality and reliability improvement. Starting from production, logistics and test data, the activity aims to reconstruct actual process trajectories, identify route variants, bottlenecks, deviations and feedback delays, and enrich the resulting models with quality and reliability information. Building on expertise in Petri Nets, discrete-event systems, scheduling and optimization, the research will extend these methods towards quality-aware decision models able to relate process execution, test measurements, inspection results, yield indicators and failure/return information. The objective is to support interpretable and data-driven decisions for improving production performance, quality and reliability.
