Integration and validation
WP4 picks up the results of the work packages WP1 – WP3. WP4 is dedicated to the implementation of the use cases, the integration of the hardware and software components developed in WP2 and WP3, the evaluation of the use cases in specific demonstration and test scenarios specified in WP1. WP4 also covers the validation of the prototypes and aspects associated with unifying the work of several partners across countries in a series of independent or collaborative demonstrations. WP4 will start in month 19 and last until project end in month 36.
WP 4 is also interested in designing a tool box with different demand forecasting techniques for semiconductor supply chains. It is intended to provide benchmark data sets for forecasting algorithms for the semiconductor research community.
WP4 will also build a supply chain model in system dynamics software, that will be used to analyse the logistical relations between the tiers of the chain so the model can function as an early indicator of bullwhips and shortages and help to identify true demand.
