Abstract

IBM's logistics management system (LMS) is a real-time imbedded transaction-based integrated decision and knowledge-based expert support system which serves as a dispatcher, monitoring and controlling the manufacturing flow of IBM's semiconductor facility near Burlington, Vermont. Burlington produces various logic and memory micro electronic chips and modules that are used throughout the IBM product line. LMS helps improve manufacturing performance and is critical to running major areas of the manufacturing facility. It was developed by the advanced industrial engineering department.
