What is Precedence Relations

Chapter 6
Handbook of Research on Novel Soft Computing Intelligent Algorithms: Theory and Practical Applications
Precedence constraint that determine the partial sequence of assembly process. The precedence relation ensures that a task only able to be processed after all of its predecessors has already been processed.

Abstract
Balancing assembly line is an important problem in manufacturing because of its high investment cost, efficient production system cost, and incorporation of various aspects of decisions and production tasks. This problem has been studied intensively for decades and various solution procedures have been proposed. Recently, many balancing and sequencing of assembly lines problems are solved using metaheuristics methods. The methods offer higher flexibility in their adaptability to fit the need of various optimization problems. The implementation of metaheuristics methods in ALBP enables researchers to explore more aspect of the assembly lines with higher complexity. This study provides in deep discussion of assembly lines balancing problems and the application of metaheuristics method to solve the problems including the new advances in the state of the art and possible future development.
