4. Conclusions
In this paper, a novel approach for group setup strategies has been presented fot the case of a single collect-and-place assembly machine. Minimizing the makespan for a given number of batches of different PCB types is regarded as the objective function. The proposed methodology applies machine-specific algorithms for optimizing magazine setups for each PCB family and generating placement sequences for each PCB type. Thus, realistic assembly times and optimized magazine setups are used in contrast to other conventional approaches for grouping PCBs. Additionally, batch sizes are also integrated into the group formation procedure. Development of other group formation methodologies based on realistic assembly times is considered as a future research topic.
