Abstract

Our version of the PC board manufacturing problem (originated from a cooperation with Philips/Assembléon, Netherlands) consists of two subproblems:(1) determing the setup of the mounting machine in terms of assigning component types to the individual worktables of the machine and (2) find a distribution of the mounting tasks to the individual worktables based on the setup of these worktables. This means a mounting task can be assigned to a worktable (which we call placeable) if its component type is present at this worktable.
