This paper purpose is to improve the turn rate of "pilot lot" to shorten new product development time. These lots belong to the R&D department. We call these lots as R&D lots. In order to push these lots shorter than production lots, we construct a virtual mini-line in already existing production line to satisfy production output requirement for manufacture department and new product pilot run requirement for R&D department. After the miniline system released, we got good results. Our Technology development cycle time in super hot lot/hot lot improved 10.6% and 11.9% respectively than before.
