The main line of an automotive assembly plant normally consists of a body line, a painting line, and an assembly line. For determining the production sequence, leveling of heavy options is the major concern for body line and assembly line whereas production of bodies with the same color consecutively is more important in case of the painting line. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for generating the production sequence plan for an automotive assembly plant having the dual painting booths. The proposed algorithm turns out very effective in terms of the global performance measure of the assembly plant.
