The article presents problem of sequencing multiversion car production. An issue of so-called Car Sequencing Problem, widely considered in the literature, is discussed. It is noted, that the problem presented by researchers is only a reduced problem in comparison with the problem occurring in real automotive production. Thus, some assumptions of the proposed approaches are questioned. For the sake of that, first a new formulation of sequencing problem is presented. The modified issue includes problems occurring on production line equipped with buffers and focuses on determining an order in which cars should be produced. Secondly, a new approach to the sequencing problem is proposed. The follow-up production control is suggested as a method of multiversion production sequencing.

Keywords: sequencing, car production, buffer, multiversion production, CSP, follow-up production control
