This shortest common supersequence problem is closely related to the longest common subsequence problem. Given two sequences X = and Y = , a sequence U = is a common supersequence of X and Y if U is a supersequence of both X and Y.
A method for assembly sequence planning is proposed in this paper. First, two methods for assembly sequence planning are compared, which are indirect method and direct method. Then, the limits of the previous assembly planning system are pointed out
