Sequencing - Minimize setup time

In Minimize Setup Time sequencing, operations are grouped that is similar to standard sequencing. It is used as an algorithm to minimize the setup time for the next operation in a group. The process is done one operation at a time.

In this sequencing type, the group of operations must be identified first. The sequence of operations in the group is then identified by comparing all the remaining operations in the group that are not yet planned. The operation that resulted from the lowest setup time comparison will be the next operation.
