Project Description

This internship project focuses on developing an Agentic AI-enabled planning ecosystem to enhance fab space utilization, tool placement planning, and decision-making across the Planning (PLN) domain. The intern will contribute to the design and evaluation of an intelligent multi-agent framework that supports planning optimization through data-driven analysis and Artificial Intelligence technologies.

The project explores Agentic AI architecture and Google SDK technologies to coordinate multiple specialized AI agents, including:

• Industrial Engineering (IE) Agent for tool demand forecasting and capacity planning
• Layout Agent for space allocation analysis and constraint evaluation
• Material and Spare Planning Agent for resource planning optimization
• Operations Modelling Agent for scenario simulation and planning insights
• Cost/Capex Agent for investment and cost optimization assessments

Through collaboration with planning stakeholders, the intern will gain exposure to AI-enabled planning methodologies, multi-agent reasoning frameworks, optimization techniques, and large-scale manufacturing planning challenges.
