  • Manufacturing is a topic that provides rich opportunities for important mathematical contributions to real-world problems. The purpose of this paper is to show, by means of several examples, where and how mathematical problems of a discrete nature arise in manufacturing and to demonstrate the savings and improvements that can be achieved by employing the techniques of combinatorial optimization. The topics covered range from the design phase of a product (e. g.,routing, placement and via minimization in VLSI design), the control of CNC machines (e. g., drilling and plotting), to the management of assembly lines, storage systems and whole factories. We also point out difficulties in the modelling of complex situations and outline the algorithmic methods that are used for the solution of the mathematical problems arising in manufacturing. {\bf Key words:} discrete mathematics , combinatorial optimization, applications to manufacturing.
