A workflow cell for a fabrication facility is provided. The workflow cell includes a semiconductor processing tool and a buffering station holding Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPs) proximate to the semiconductor processing tool. The buffering station receives the FOUPs from a main stocker of the fabrication facility. The buffering station is configured to store a portion of the FOUPs in the main stocker. The workflow cell also includes a conveying mechanism connecting the semiconductor processing tool and the buffering station. In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism is the Direct Tool Load mechanism. A fabrication facility having the workflow and a method for moving a transport container are also provided.
