This study aims to improve component placement sequencing of a number of PCBs produced on a turret style SMT machine. After modeling the problem and having found that an optimal solution to the real PCB problem is hard to be achieved because of the concurrent behavior of the machine and the PCB design parameters, two heuristics are developed by oversimplifying the problem down to TSP. Performance of the heuristics and the lower bounds is evaluated by comparing the results with the optimal solution for two sets of randomly generated PCBs. The heuristic solutions are also compared with the lower bounds and the current implementation for the real PCBs. It is found out that the heuristics improve the current efficiency figures of the company.

Comparison of the resource allocation cababilities of project management software packages in resource constrained project scheduling problems
Hekimoğlu, Özge; Serpil, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this study, results of a comparison on benchmark test problems are presented to investigate the performance of Primavera V.4.1 with its two resource allocation priority rules and MS Project 2003. Resource allocation capabilities of the packages are measured in terms of deviation from the upper bound of the minimum makespan. Resource constrained project scheduling problem instances are taken from PSPLIB which are generated under a factorial design from ProGen. Statistical tests are applied to the results ...
Designing an information system for material management in engineer-to-order organizations
Dede, Erdoğan; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, an information system is designed and developed for engineer-to-order organizations to improve the traditional Bill-of-Material by handling variants of products and components efficiently. A database is developed to store the related information about inventories and configuration management in an effective way. The improved Bill-of-Material provides a common structure to access stored information for material management purposes. A model, based on network, is presented and included into the...
A Compact Angular Rate Sensor System Using a Fully Decoupled Silicon-on-Glass MEMS Gyroscope
Alper, Said Emre; Temiz, Yuksel; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-12-01)
This paper presents the development of a compact single-axis angular rate sensor system employing a 100-mu m-thick single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical systems gyroscope with an improved decoupling arrangement between the drive and sense modes. The improved decoupling arrangement of the gyroscope enhances the robustness of sensing frame against drive-mode oscillations and therefore minimizes mechanical crosstalk between the drive and sense modes, yielding a small bias instability. The gyroscope cor...

A lagrangean heuristic for the two-stage modular capacitated facility location problem
Sevinç, Selim; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008)
In this study, a Lagrangean heuristic based on Lagrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization is proposed for the two-stage modular capacitated facility location problem. The objective is to minimize the cost of locating and operating plants and warehouses, plus the cost of transporting goods at both echelons to satisfy the demand of customers. The difference of our study from the two-stage capacitated facility location problem is the existence of multiple capacity levels as a candidate for each plant i...
