ABSTRACT
In many long-cycle, non-repetitive, non-identical assembly, machining or main-
tenance operations, the use of the BasicMOST sequence models will likely
produce a method description with excessive detail. The variation in the actual
method from cycle to cycle is often so great that the relatively precise method
descriptions of BasicMOST are not required and can be misleading. A more
general description of the method is desirable to allow for the variations that
occur in the actual method used.
