Original Abstract Submitted
A method for identifying at least one fixed setup for an assembly line includes a circuit board double transport system of which the first transport track and second transport track transport double-sided circuit boards. The method includes acquiring a quantity of circuit board types which are each associated with double-sided circuit boards acquiring a quantity of component types acquiring a production time for synchronous population of the first and second side of each associated double-sided circuit; acquiring a production time for asynchronous population; acquiring a number of fixed setup clusters; assigning circuit board types to each fixed setup cluster; and optimizing the assignment process in such a way that the production time saving identified from the acquired production times of the synchronous and asynchronous population over all associated double-sided circuit boards is maximized.
