Precedence constraints in Easy Plan

You can use precedence constraints in Easy Plan to define which operation is performed before another in a process.

Precedence constraints enhance workflow integrity and operational efficiency. Precedence constraints are valid within and between stations.

When you work with precedence constraints in Easy Plan, you must perform these tasks first:

  1. Configure Easy Plan to use precedence constraints.

  2. Define precedence constraints for your data.

After these tasks are completed, you can use Easy Plan to:

  • (Optional) Validate precedence constraints.

  • Perform process planning with precedence constraints.

  • Perform line balancing with precedence constraints.
