Additive manufacturing and 3D printing appear on 31 recent papers, split among operations research, AI and management, and spare parts management on 2. Printing parts on demand could replace warehouses of slow-moving inventory. Which parts are worth printing, where should the printers be, and do certification rules allow it?
Semiconductor manufacturing appears on 14 recent papers and wafer fabrication on 3, split between the AI and operations research journals, while chip plants worth tens of billions are being built with public money. Fab scheduling is among the hardest in industry. Do the published methods reach the plants, and how much yield and throughput do they add?
