Abstract :
The Fermilab Main Injector project is building 344 dipoles, produced from steel with varying magnetic properties. The strategies for assigning dipoles, based upon their strength characteristics, are discussed. The closed orbit errors due to the strength variations are expected to be small in comparison to alignment errors
