1. A method of controlling a manufacturing process, comprising:
- monitoring operating conditions of plural process steps during the manufacturing process;
calculating a degree of risk for each of a malfunction operating condition step and subsequent steps, in accordance with selected data from plural manufacturing control parameters preliminarily obtained under a normal operating condition of the manufacturing process;
determining a priority of the manufacturing process needing recovery in response to the degree of risk for each of the malfunction operating condition step and subsequent steps; and
controlling an operating condition of the manufacturing process responsive to said determining,wherein the degree of risk is classified into plural levels and is determined in accordance with a risk point on the basis of the following parameters;
WIP minimum, WIP actual, WIP target and a weighting factor, wherein WIP is work in progress.

Abstract
In a method of controlling a manufacturing process, operating conditions of plural process steps are monitored during the manufacturing process. A degree of risk is calculated for each of a malfunction operating condition step and subsequent steps. The degree of risk is classified into plural levels and is determined in accordance with a risk point on the basis of the minimum WIP, actual WIP, target WIP, and a weighting factor. A priority of the manufacturing process needing recovery is determined in response to the degree of risk, and an operating condition of the manufacturing process is controlled in response to the priority determination.
