الوصف: Stochasticity in assembly processes is often associated with the processing time and availability of machinery, tools and manpower, however in this paper it is determined by probability of an assembly task successful completion which here is referred to as task reliability. We present a mathematical model for optimising the expected assembly cost, and consider two scenarios: the first a situation where a failure of one assembly task requires rework of that task alone; second a situation in which a failure in the midst of the process requires resumption of previously completed tasks. In the worst case scenario the assembly process must restart from the beginning. We show that the first scenario is insensitive to sequencing unless there are set-up costs. In the second scenario the process is sensitive to tasks' sequence. We present a heuristic that argues for accomplishing more uncertain tasks (with less reliability) earlier in the process to decrease the expected cost of assembly, and show that in a mutually dependent assembly process, when tasks' reliabilities are similar, the cheaper tasks should be executed earlier in the process.
