Abstract: Abstract This project was taken up for M/s Sree International Limited, Chennai, and it deals with a case study in which we try to optimize the manufacturing process of mounting components on bare printed circuit boards. Following the ideas and heuristic suggested in Chang et al. (Optimizing the radial component insertion on PCB’s. In: Yu G (ed) Industrial applications of combinatorial optimization. Kluwer, Boston, 1997) the problem of minimizing production time is formulated as a combination of traveling salesman and assignment problems. Some special difficulties encountered in the current problem are tackled by formulating them using linear constraints. The most important contribution of this project is the development of a software package, a decision support tool, for making decisions directly related to productivity.
