Group set-up for printed circuit board assembly

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...

Product/process Design in Mass Placement Printed Circuit Board Assembly *

We describe a set of models that are used to manage the product and process design in a mass placement printed circuit board (PCB) assembly cell. Our models can be divided into two categories. First, we characterize the cell design problem and develop models to design an efficient assembly cell. Second, we present models for optimizing the different operational aspects of the assembly cell. The...

Modeling of High-speed Printed Circuit Board Abstract This thesis is an exercise to investigate the various methods of creating an equivalent circuit model for a high-speed digital printed circuit board (PCB)

This thesis is an exercise to investigate the various methods of creating an equivalent circuit model for a high-speed digital printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and to perform computer simulation on such a system. The term highspeed printed circuit board is widely accepted in the engineering community to be refering to PCB which is applied to digital system with operating frequency in excess...

Grouping components in printed circuit board assembly with limited component staging capacity and single card setup: problem characteristics and solution procedures

The problem of grouping Printed Circuit Board (PCB) components to minimize the total component and PCB loading cost subject to a capacity constraint on the number of types of components per group is formulated as an integer linear programming problem. The problem is shown to be NP-complete. Characteristics of the solution are outlined and a heuristic algorithm is discussed. For the case in whic...
