Question

Difference between sequencing and scheduling

Answer 1

Sequencing is the order of tasks to be done in chain. Hence the next task is started once the previous one is completed. 

Scheduling, on the other hand is the process in which people are assigned to time to accomplish different tasks.

It improves the delivery performance and reduces the manufacturing time and cost. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation: The primary objective of manufacturing time reduction is to develop a plan to guide the release of work into the system and coordination with needed resources (e.g., machines, staffing, materials).  To achieve this effectively we need sequencing and scheduling.

The notable difference is

Sequencing : Order of release of jobs in to machines but not times

Scheduling : Along with sequencing focusses on detailed release times of each job.
