Preface
This book is written mainly for process planners in the electronics industry and for those who are concerned with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line efficiency. We develop mathematical modeling techniques and heuristic solution approaches to optimize some critical PCB assembly problems arising in the industry. Line assignment, component allocation, component sequencing, and feeder arrangement problems are optimized so that line efficiency can be improved. In addition, this book i
