This paper presents an approach of applying Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm to an assembly sequence-planning (ASP) problem. Permutation encoding of sequences is used to represent particles, then those particles are strictly subjected to a precedence constraint matrix at which onl...
