Abstract :
[en] The electronics industry relies heavily on numerically controlled machines for the placement of electronic components on the surface of printed circuit boards (PCB). This paper proposes a heuristic hierarchical approach to the problem of optimizing the throughput rate of a line of several such machines, devoted to the assembly of a single type of PCB. A number of well-known NP-hard problems emerge, for which mathematical models and heuristic solution methods are developed. The approach is tested on a real-life problem, for which it is shown to perform well.
