Group set-up for printed circuit board assembly

The current practice in the assembly of electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCBs) 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 a different production method, called the group set-up (GSU) method, which can significantl...

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...

1 Using Queueing Network Models to Set Lot - sizing Policies for Printed Circuit Board Assembly Operations

The current trend among manufacturers is to reduce WIP by decreasing the lot size. Reducing the lot size in some cases may have an adverse effect on system performance because more setup time is incurred. In this paper, we propose the use of queueing network models to determine the best lot-sizing policy that minimizes the WIP. The queueing network model is validated by comparing its results to...
