A MULTI-EXCHANGE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH HEURISTIC FOR AN INTEGRATED CLUSTERING AND MACHINE SETUP MODEL FOR PCB MANUFACTURING
2002
Journal of electronics manufacturing
In the manufacture of printed circuit boards, electronic components are attached to a blank board by one or more pick-and-place machines. ...
We consider the Integrated Clustering and Machine Setup (ICMS) model, which incorporates this tradeoff between processing time and setup time and seeks to minimize the sum of the two. ...
Unlike conventional clustering approaches that rely on surrogate metrics for similarity of PCB jobs, ICMS forms clusters of PCB jobs by process commonality, i.e. prescribing groups of PCB jobs by common ...
