Estimating the Production Times in PCB Assembly

Tero Laakso, Mika Johnsson, Tommi Johtela, Jouni Smed, Olli Nevalainen, Estimating the Production Times in PCB Assembly. Journal of Electronics Manufacturing 11(2), 161--70, 2002.

Abstract:

Several control problems of PCB assembly industry involve the
estimation of the component placement times for various different
placement robots. A standard approach, widely used in scientific
literature, is to let the time to be a linear function of the number
of components. In this paper, we demonstrate that a more realistic
model should include additional parameters (e.g., the number of
different component types and the board size). Linear multiregression
indicates that the coefficient of determination for the improved model
is over 90 percent.
