- Title
A TABU SEARCH FOR TIME MINIMIZATION IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY.

- Abstract
This paper presents a version of the tabu search algorithm designed to minimize the assembly time in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) where the main challenge is the optimization of the lots of components. The PCB assembly is the process of placing electronic components of different shapes and sizes at specific locations on the board and is modeled as a permutation flow shop problem where n lots (batches) of identical PCBs must be processed on a set of m machines. The basic flowshop of scheduling problem (PFSP) assumes that a machine can process only one job at the time. The proposed problem for PCB has two specific machines where the jobs cannot be passed to the next machine before a specific number of jobs are finished: the first machine where the entire lot is required to be processed and the third machine where a sub-lot is processed.
