“…As such, assembly sequence planning (ASP) is critical for the successful production of large-scale products containing a higher number of parts, such as airplanes, cargo/cruise ships, and products used in aero and space industries. Typically, an industrial engineer provides the assembly sequence for a product, based on prior experience and knowledge [5,6]. However, ASP generates a finite number of sequences, some of which are optimal and few are practically beneficial due to the tool and fixture usage [2,3,5].…”
