    • Allocation of component types to machines in the automated assembly of printed circuit boards 

      Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Duman, Ekrem; Duman, Dilek; Cetinkaya, Coskun (Academy Publisher, 2007-09)
      Although the use of electronic component placement machines has brought reliability and speed to the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly process, to get higher utilization, one needs to solve the resulting complex operations ...

    • Dispatching rules for allocation of component types to machines in the automated assembly of printed circuit boards 

      Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Duman, Ekrem; Duman, Dilek (Springer Verlag, 2006)
      In this paper, we propose a model and algorithms to solve a load balancing problem on a printed circuit board assembly line. On this line of two identical machines, the problem of allocation of component types to ...

    • Parallel Machine Scheduling with Load Balancing and Sequence Dependent Setups 

      Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Duman, Ekrem; Krishnan, Krishna K.; Senniappan, Karthikeyan (Inderscience, 2007)
      In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing total completion time with load balancing and sequence dependent setups in a non-identical parallel machine environment. A mathematical model has been presented for ...

    • Scheduling Continuous Aluminium Casting Lines 

      Duman, Ekrem; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Alkaya, Ali Fuat (Taylor & Francis, 2008-10-15)
      This study considers the problem of scheduling casting lines of an aluminium casting and processing plant. In aluminium processing plants, continuous casting lines are the bottleneck resources, i.e. factory throughput ...

    • Workload balancing in printed circuit board assembly shops 

      Duman, Ekrem; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (2005)
      In assembling printed circuit boards (PCB), the use of numerically or computer controlled electronic component placement machines has become quite popular in the last decades. However, serious operations research problems ...
