We discuss the dynamic programming approach to finding an optimal sequence of a set of
tasks when the tasks are related by precedence restrictions. We describe how to use this
approach in problems where no explicit precedence relations exist. Computer
implementation considerations played an important role in its development. Computational
results indicate that, when the curse of dimensionality can be dispelled, dynamic
programming can be a useful procedure for large sequencing problems.
