文摘This is a further development work on grouping of printed circuit boards(PCBs)for Surface Mount Assembly in the electronic industry.The arrangement of PCBs among several surface mount machine lines is a typical kind of group technology(GT)problem.From literatures,there are various clustering techniques developed to solve the clustering problems.In this paper,fuzzy c-means clustering(FCM)is used to solve the PCBs grouping problem.Applying them in a real problem compares the results of the two methods.The result shows that there should be a systematic method to arrange the scheduling of PCB assemblies in electronic industry to improve the operations planning process.
