Sounds OK, but there are considerations.
Are you manufacturing many hundred of products a day with a few steps, or a few products a day with hundreds of steps?
How often would you set up your production line with this?
How many products, subassemblies, etc do you have?
How many steps does it take to complete a product?
How many stations do you have?
How will you manage the flow of work from station to station?
How do you know if a missing or broken part will throw the whole thing off and how will you adjust for this?
You can't just ignore the dependency issue.
These aren't questions I expect you to answer here, just various things that might need consideration.
