On the Work Process Organization of Surface Mounted Component Printing

Jouni Smed, Mika Johnsson, Mikko Puranen, Jouni Lehtinen, Timo Leipälä, Olli Nevalainen, On the Work Process Organization of Surface Mounted Component Printing. TUCS Technical Reports 139, Turku Centre for Computer Science, 1997.

Abstract:

The arrangement of operations in a production line for mounting the surface components on a printed circuit board is discussed. The production environment has a wide range of different products, which causes frequent set-up operations. The overall productivity of the line depends heavily on how the printing operations are organized. Set-ups cause delays which can be cut down by selecting carefully the feeders for the components and by solving a suitable sequence for the products. Algorithms which solve both of these problems are presented along with a discussion of the mathematical 0/1 integer programming approach. The revision of the production planning system has had a major impact on productivity. An increase of ca. 58 percent in the number of component insertions per hour is observed.
