Abstract

PCB assembly is a complicated and difficult process to optimize due to the necessity of simultaneous consideration of component’s rack assignment and board mounting sequencing. An efficient PCB assembly method is developed by using neighboring positioned identical components information as well as quantity and size of the components. It is found that same type of components are located closely each other by checking real PCBs and interviewing with PCB designers in practice. Better performance of the developed procedure is obtained along with more number of total components and more number of neighboring positioned identical components cases. Simulation models are developed using Visual C++ for performance evaluation purposes of the suggested heuristic.
