Abstract: Insufficient data quality prevents data usage by decision support systems (DSS) in many areas of business. This is the case for data on precedence relations between tasks, which is relevant, for instance, in project scheduling and assembly line balancing. Inaccurate data on unnecessary precedence relations cannot be used, otherwise the recommendations of DSS may turn infeasible. So, unnecessary relations must be satisfied, diminishing the baseline problem’s solution space and the business result. Experts can validate the data, but their time is limited.
