In this paper, the authors propose an original method for the determination of precedence graphs for Assembly Line Design. This method is based on the transforamation of a set of assembly sequences into an hypergraph including and and or precedence relations between assembly tasks.
The resulting hypergraph may be transformed into a set of ordinary precedencen graphs. It is also possible to develop Assembly Line Balancing algorithms directly from the proposed hypergraph.
