Among the different problems used to test and compare constraint problem solving approaches, the car sequencing problem is interesting in that it corresponds to a real industrial problem while remaining relatively simple to model. It could thus become a benchmark for constraint problem solving. Based on a realistic definition of the car sequencing problem, the authors present an approach based on the use of simulated annelling. They will demonstrate that the results obtained with this method are extremely interesting. It is then compared simulated annealing with constraint problem solving in the context of this particular problem. This discussion could form the basis for a methodological approach in establishing relationships between the features of a problem and its possible solution.
