More specifically, the meaning of the hard restrictions is the restrictions that must be strictly adhered to when adjusting the capacity allocation. It mainly includes: 'Regional restrictors, customer family restrictions, and factories = restrictions. _Restriction of spare capacity (0 pen side), β •, etc. Generally speaking, the capacity of wafer foundries is usually divided into the Americas, Europe, Asia and Japan according to the location of customers. The divided production capacity in each region operates independently of each other and does not divert each other. This is a regional limitation. The production capacity in each area is classified by customer family. The production capacity of different customer families cannot be diverted from each other. This is a customer family limitation. In addition, the purpose of factory restrictions is to adjust the status of capacity deployment and utilization among factories in the overall wafer foundry, in order to seek-the "average of capacity utilization 'to avoid the occurrence of high capacity utilization in one factory and capacity in another factory. Low utilization. Furthermore, the purpose of annual and monthly allocation restrictions is mainly to restrict the adjustment of production capacity allocation to the allocation of production capacity in the current month to avoid misappropriation of production capacity in the coming months. In addition, the capacity under each area still has a spare capacity that can be used flexibly.
