Scheduling algorithms for computer-aided line balancing in printed circuit board assembly

genetic algorithms for assembly line balancing problem

there are some machineries and equipments as well as relatively fix amount of human resources involved in any production process. in many cases, by observing operational method of a process, one may see that some of these machineries are not working, but on the other hand, other equipments are continuously working, and many parts are set in front of them, waiting to be set up over machines to c...

Proposed Scheduling Methods for Printed Circuit Board Assembly

The current practice in the assembly of electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCB's) is serial production. a process characterized by very long set-up times. However. with the advent of efficient on-line process information, new production control methods are now possible. This paper proposes two new production methods the Grouped Set-up (GSU) /Tlethod and the SequenceDependent Sched...

Bi-objective Scheduling in Printed Circuit Board Assembly

This paper presents an approach to solve the problem of scheduling printed circuit board assemblies on single production line to minimize total weighted tardiness and total feeder setups, which are sequence dependent. Preemptive integer goal programming model is constructed to represent the bi-objective problem. Although an optimal branch-and-bound method is available, its computational require...
