    Capacity modelling of a wet bench cluster tool with material handling robot
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Heavey, Cathal; Corbett, Vincent
    In this study, a wet bench cluster is examined through a highly detailed simulation model to first understand the tool performance under different process mixes and lot arrival patterns and second to improve the tool performance using different recipe sequences and loading policies. Results of the simulation experiments show that there is benefit in rationalising the number of recipes to increase the opportunity for full loads. In addition, the wet bench capacity is significantly improved by reconfiguration of recipe sequences. The article demonstrates the successful use of a detailed simulation model of a wet bench cluster tool to support process engineering changes.

    Courageous Leadership For The Twenty-First Century
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Sen, Asim; Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Yanginlar, Gozde
    Today's the biggest problems such as hunger, poverty, unemployment, inequality, corruption, terrorism and wars, lack of liberty and justice, unfair globalization, and environmental destruction are threatening the lives of many people throughout the world and putting future generations under a great risk. These problems have reached such a level that their solutions require urgent and radical changes. Most people, many academicians and scholars argue that contemporary leadership practices will not be able to solve these problems. Contemporary leadership practices are either preserving the status quo or not making the necessary changes to solve them. This paper argues that the courageous leadership practices could make such changes for solving the current problems in the twenty-first century. The courageous leaders are brave, and they have heart, spirit and exceptional intellectual and emotional capacity to make drastic changes. They take risks to face and deal with difficult problems instead of overtaking them to move organizations and nations forward. They are creative so that they can make objective analysis, select the most effective strategies, motivate people at their maximum capacities and act under high uncertainties. Great courageous political leaders of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries such as Ataturk, Mao, Lenin, Castro, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and the others made drastic changes. They solved many difficult problems through utilizing again some of those courage-related characteristics. Also, business leaders like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jorma Ollila and others used some of those courage-related characteristics for building new and successful business organizations. In this study, we analyze the courage characteristics of these leaders including intellectual (knowledge) courage, moral courage, creativity courage, biological courage, and followers courage. The analysis is made within the framework of strategic management process. The insights are gathered from their leadership experiences that may provide some perspectives for the leaders of the twenty-first century to solve current problems and satisfy people's needs.

    Democratization of University Management for Quality Higher Education
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Sen, Asim; Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Tuysuz, Fatih; Kuzalic, Dilek
    The objective of this paper is to provide some insights for developing a high quality university through democratizing the contemporary university management practices. The high quality university has often the quality academic programs, quality teaching faculty members, and quality students for establishing high educational standards. The faculty of high quality universities engages in high quality research and produce high quality and quantity of new knowledge and publications. The graduates of high quality universities usually obtain high quality professional positions. They also generate the necessary physical and financial resources and endowments for supporting themselves. Those universities that develop these quality characteristics offer a high quality education. Democratization of the university management practices plays a key role for a university to develop a high quality education and become a high quality university. In this study, democratization process includes the ownership, the practice of sharing the authority and responsibility, group decision-making, horizontal network organizational structure and long term employment practices of university management. Those universities utilizing these practices together and acting collectively as a team are able to achieve a high quality education and become a high quality university. Democratization process will also help stakeholders of the university to establish close cooperation and relations with public and private institutions for financing the university.

    Impact of Recipe Restrictions on Photolithography Toolsets in an ASIC Fabrication Environment
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2013) Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Heavey, Cathal; Corbett, Vincent; Byrne, P. J.
    In this paper, a detailed discrete event simulation model is used to better understand the effects of recipe constraints resulting from process restrictions and tool capabilities on overall average cycle time performance of a photolithography area and on average cycle times of individual mask layers. The study is motivated by the industry, in which engineers have to frequently make decisions on tool qualifications and recipe coverage. An experimental procedure is developed and implemented to show the impact of different levels of tool paths on photolithography toolsets. The simulation results show that increasing the number of tool paths decreases the overall average photolithography cycle time for particular wafer loading levels. Also, as start volumes increase, toolset utilizations increase and the impact of single-path tools on average cycle times increases. Immature processes and low-use processes tend to have more single paths and thus suffer higher average cycle times accordingly. Furthermore, it is reported that average cycle time decreases significantly under multiple process environments due to the lower impact of single paths.

    SINGLE TOOLSET MODELING APPROACHES IN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING
    (IEEE, 2012) Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Heavey, Cathal; Kernan, Brian
    Traditional industrial engineering techniques including mathematical models are not sufficient to examine sophisticated manufacturing systems such as semiconductor manufacturing. As such, simulation modeling is used extensively in the design and analysis of semiconductor manufacturing operations. This study explores the use of simulation modeling of single semiconductor toolsets. In the literature a number of modeling approaches for single toolset analysis can be identified. The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate these approaches.

    Strategies For Employee Job Satisfaction: A Case Of Service Sector
    (ScienceDirect, 2014) Kabak, Kamil Erkan; Şen, Asım; Göçer, Kenan; Küçüksöylemez, Seçil; Tuncer, Güngör
    In most situations managing the strategy execution process include the best practices of Total Quality Management (TQM) through increasing employee job satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of TQM activities on the job satisfaction for small and middle sized companies (SMEs) in the service sector of Turkey with an empirical analysis. Five TQM practices chosen to have a significant impact on job satisfaction are employee training and education, employee relations and teamwork, employee reward and recognition, quality culture and employee empowerment. The variables are analyzedusing the Exploratory Factory Analysis(EFA), descriptive statistics analysis, correlationanalysis and an independent sample t-test. Results show that employee training and education, and employee relations andteamwork arethe most dominant factors on job satisfaction. However, there aresome considerable factors such as facilities, job security, rewards and there is littleimpact of education and salary levelson job satisfaction
