In semiconductor manufacturing, Photolithography is one of the most influential stations to the overall product cycle time. In this paper, we propose an effective scheduling and dispatching (S&D) approach to improve the production efficiency in Photolithography. An empirical study was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed S&D method. Results showed that the cycle time in Photolithography is significantly improved due to the proposed S&D approach. Compared to the current practice, the proposed S&D approach can reduce the mean cycle time by 7% and 10%
