Abstract: | This paper tackles the problem of scheduling in the assembly of SMT electronic boards. In particular, it focuses on a new scheduling method developed within the framework of an industry-university joint research project. The scheduling system aims at minimizing the makespan; this goal is achieved by reducing setup times and idle times of the machines. As an example, the outcome of a test carried out on a production mix made up of 10 board types is presented and analyzed in a summarized form. |
