Abstract:

In the considered printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing problem, the objective is to minimize production time by allocating components to capacitated feeders and sequencing the placement of these components on a printed circuit board by a robot arm. A number of applications outside the computer industry illustrate the importance of the PCB problem also in other areas. We report the development and implementation of a new heuristic and a related lower bound. Computational results are given for test instances up to 13 feeders and 140 locations.
