Abstract :
Current assembly planning systems have used different definitions of an assembly plan and applied different restrictions to the planning process. This report surveys, analyzes, and compares several key aspects of assembly planning systems. The most common restrictions applied to assembly plans-sequentiality, monotonicity, and coherence-are defined and discussed. Three distinct definitions of an assembly plan are described and compared. Several enumerative data structures designed to represent large sets of assembly plans are analyzed and compared
