Further, the usage history of the component and the local tool is readily available enabling the operator to be an informed decision-maker. In addition, the level of expertise and knowledge may be significantly reduced since rule-based analysis may be built into the intelligence of the centralized database and/or local tool database.
- Figure 4 shows, in an embodiment, a simple flowchart illustrating how a dynamic component-tracking system may be employed to forecast a single activity. Consider the situation wherein, ToolOl needs to be cleaned within the next 2 weeks. At a first step 402, an event-based report may be triggered.

In addition, data about the maintenance event may be updated at both the local tool database and the centralized database in a quick and efficient manner. This method significantly reduces the loss of information and significantly increased analysis capability between the various tools.
- Figure 5 shows, in an embodiment, a simple flowchart illustrating how a dynamic component-tracking system may be employed to perform multi-part scheduling.
- an event-based report may be triggered.
- the report may be generated and sent to a set of operators when specific events/criteria are triggered. By having this knowledge, actions may be taken by the operators to prepare for the upcoming events.
- components may be ordered and delivered to the various locations where they are needed in preparation for the required maintenance.

- a bulk order may be placed allowing the operators to take advantage of any discount that may be available for bulk purchase.
- the ability to share data across tools may allow the operators to have components ordered and delivered to the various locations where they are needed in advance, preventing unnecessary delay in maintaining the tools.
- heavy and/or big components may have to be delivered to the location in advanced.
- labor resources may be scheduled.
- the ability to share data across tools may allow the operators to identify upcoming required maintenance events.
- labor resources which may be limited, may be scheduled accordingly allowing for upcoming required maintenance events to be handled without delay.
- rolling schedules may be implemented to maximize ownership of the manufacture plants and to prevent major disruption to the daily operation.
- the operators may be unaware that o-rings in three of the tools may have to be replaced. If all three tools break down at the same time, then major disruption to daily operation may occur since all three may be unoperational until the components have been replaced. Also, if the components are not available, then the tools may remain unoperational until the components can be ordered. Further, if the labor resources are not available then the tools may also be unoperational until the labor resources are available to perform the replacement.
- data about the maintenance event may be entered into the local tool database.
- the data may have to be manually entered at the local tool database.
- the data may be automatically updated into the local tool database.
- the local tool database may synchronize with a centralized database. In an embodiment, the synchronization may occur automatically if the tool is connected to the network. In another embodiment, the synchronization may occur at the discretion of the operator.
- FIG. 65 Similar to forecasting for a single event, the ability to share data across tools allow forecasting for multi-part scheduling to be readily performed enabling the operators to schedule a series of upcoming maintenance events. Also, components and labor resources may be requested in advanced to minimizing the risk of unavailable resources and prevent unnecessary disruption to daily operations. Further, data about the maintenance events may be updated efficiently at both the local tool database and the centralized database.
- Figure 6 shows, in an embodiment, a simple flow chart illustrating how a dynamic component-tracking system may be employed to implement rule-based maintenance. At a first step 602, an operator may specify a set of rules for maintaining and/or installing a component and/or tool at a local tool database.
- the rule may be propagated to the centralized database, which in turn may propagate the set of rules to other tool databases.
- the rule may be enforced uniformly upon an event for that component, regardless of the location of the component.
- rules may be established with different criteria.
- the damaged component may have an estimated life of 600 RF minutes if employed during an oxidation process.
- the damaged component may only have an estimated life of 400 RF minutes if the component is employed during an etching process.
- the dynamic component-tracking system provides a more comprehensive method of collecting and propagating data. Data may now be shared efficiently and effectively throughout the manufacture plant with minimal lag time and minimal human errors. Further, cost and disruption may be significantly reduced as preplanning may enable better management of resources. As a result, component tracking may be performed on a more granular basis without requiring a more knowledgeable workforce.
