Abstract: In this paper, we consider the optimal sequencing of vehicles along multiple assembly lines. We present a constraint-based model of the problem with hard and soft constraints. An advantage of a constraintbased approach is that the model is declarative and there is a separation between the model and an algorithm for solving the model. As a result, once the model had been de ned, we could experiment with di erent algorithms for solving the model, with few or no changes to the model itself. ... (Update)
