Abstract
In 1994, HP's Man-Link recipe-generation system was enhanced to reduce
the time required for setting up pick-and-place machines. This was do
ne by ordering the products to exploit the commonality of parts among
them and by creating sequences of setups that differ as little as poss
ible from one another. This paper documents the issues and trade-offs
and discusses the potential benefits.
