We consider uncapacitated and capacitated assortment problems under the paired combinatorial logit model, where the goal is to fi nd a set of products to maximize the expected revenue obtained from each customer. In the uncapacitated setting, we can offer any set of products, whereas in the...

In this article we propose an aggregate optimization approach by formulating the multi-head SMD placement optimization problem into a mixed integer program (MIP) with the variables based on batches of components. This MIP is tractable and effective in balancing workload among placement heads,...
