Optimization of PCB assembly using component gathering phenomenon

PCB assembly is a complicated and difficult process to optimize due to the necessity of simultaneous consideration of rack assignment and board mounting sequencing. An efficient component mounting method is developed using component gathering phenomenon. It is found that same components are located closely each other by checking PCBs in field and interviewing PCB designers. A new method counting this phenomenon is developed and it is performed better with more number of total components and more number of gathered components cases. Simulation models are developed using Visual C++ for performance evaluation of the heuristic.
