Abstract

The general planning problem for manufacturing systems is too complex to be solved globally. Thus, it is common in the flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) literature to decompose the planning problem into hierarchical decision structures relating to a variety of decisions to be taken in long-, medium- and short-term periods.70 In these decomposition schemes, problems are divided into solvable subproblems which are coupled with each other in the global scheme. Of course, this methodology cannot guarantee the global optimality of the final solution, even assuming that all subproblems are solved to optimality, because many subproblems are generally interrelated and the solution of one problem affects the solution of the next one. This is even more relevant for the case of PCB assembly, where most subproblems themselves turn out to be NP-hard, and hence can only be approximately solved by heuristic procedures.
