Abstract :
A model for predicting the cost of manufacturing printed wiring boards is presented. The model represents manufacturing systems currently in use in the industry. It concentrates on surface-mount technology and considers a mixture of automatic, programmable assembly, and manual assembly techniques. The model includes elements to account for inventory, assembly, and test and rework costs. It also considers the effect of introducing a new component type on total manufacturing cost. Results of a simulation using typical data found in batch manufacturing of printed wiring assemblies are presented
