Sequential interdependence:

 A greater degree of interdependence exists when the output of one activity becomes the input of another activity. It is mainly found in an assembly line where a worker may install package a product the next one puts the label.

Co-ordination is achieved in sequential interdependence through standardization which emphasises on the use of plans and schedules.Setting deadlines, establishing performance targets, and identifying linkages between activities are all critical managerial decisions that must be made before units engage in the work process.

Sequential interdependence therefore requires workers to spend time planning so as to achieve an effective level of co-ordination.
