Abstract

This paper describes how AND/OR graph has been introduced as a systematic assembly sequence planning to senior mechanical engineering students at United Arab Emirates University. The students were introduced to AND/OR graph through Matrix Manipulations. They were then given hands on experience in the assembling of a bearing puller. A practical mid-term examination in the assembly planning of a Three-pin plug was given as the examination task. The results were excellent in that 43 out of 51 scored more than 90%. The encouraging results suggest that AND/OR graph is a suitable method for assembly planning.
