Abstract
Looking for appropriate dispatch rules for semiconductor fabrication facilities (wafer fabs), practitioners often intend to use the Shortest Processing Time First (SPTF) rule because it is said to reduce cycle times. In our study, we show, however, that this positive effect on cycle times can be achieved in single machine systems but not necessarily in complete wafer fabs. In addition, we discuss variants of the SPTF rule
