Read the following work proposal from Writing Effective Work Proposals by Ted Knoy for an industrial engineering-related (工業工程相關分類) project:

 

Despite the obstacles to accurately forecasting capacity

[                      ( xvi )

planning, our company strives to enhance its market

 

competitiveness by developing a more precise model. Although a

                                                       ]  [

viable solution to this problem, the dynamic capacity model

             ( ii )

requires a tremendous amount of data input. Generally, more

                                               ]

data input implies a more accurate model. Restated, an accurate

 

capacity forecast depends on sufficient input. According to our

 

estimates, the dynamic capacity forecast and the actual

 

throughput diverge by  less than 10%.  Given the necessity of

                                                [

a stable server, a situation in which the server is down more

                    ( xiv )

than twice monthly will negatively impact our data reliability. 

                                                                 ]

As is well known, the CIM system is occasionally unstable. The

[               ( iv )

deviation may require close collaboration between departments.

                                                                    ]

 

Based on the above, we should develop a precise dynamic

[              ( xii )

capacity model capable of accurately forecasting capacity.  To

                                                               ]  [

do so, parametric effectiveness analysis can be performed to

                        (xx )

forecast capacity accurately from the input data. Each criterion

 

can also be evaluated under quantity and time phase categories,

 

using historical data. A simulation attempts to create a

 

mathematical environment to access the real world. More data

 

input implies a more accurate output. The parameters can be

 

measured. Additionally, the wafer start schedule and equipment

 

status (which are the primary parameters) can then be

 

regulated to rank all viable alternatives to forecast the

 

capacity. As anticipated, the ranked forecasting capacities can

      ] [     ( vi )

provide a more objective outcome, with the weights of the

 

Marketing Department, than can conventional models.

 

Moreover, the ranked forecasting capacities allow the Sales

 

Department to identify the influence of customers’ orders on

 

alternatives. Importantly, the dynamic capacity model can

            ]  [     ( viii )

evaluate the cost and effectiveness of all viable alternatives to

 

our fabrication, in which the quantity of work in process

 

influences our inventory costs.
