Self-Assembly Techniques for Massively Parallel Packaging of MEMS Devices Jiandong Fang Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Karl F. Böhringer Electrical Engineering This dissertation investigates applications of self-assembly for massively parallel packaging of flat micro-components, the most common appearance of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) or CMOS chips. Self-assembly assembles...

Assembly line balancing has been a focus of interest to academics in operation management for the last decades. Despite diverse research works in this field, many problems still remained unsolved. Given the importance and attractiveness of the mixed product parallel lines balancing problem and the importance of the human factor in the development process and also very few studies in relation to...
