Setup reduction in PCB assembly : a group technology application using Genetic Algorithms

Creator:

Capps, Carlos H.

Abstract:

For some decades, the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCB), had been thought to be an ordinary example of mass production systems. However, technological factors and competitive pressures have currently forced PCB manufacturers to deal with a very high mix, low volume production environment. In such an environment, setup changes...
