description The objective of this study is to develop a car assembly sequence that is mutually agreed between car manufacturers and Tier-1 module suppliers such that overall modular supply chain efficiency is improved. In the literature so far, only constraints of car manufacturers have been considered in the car sequencing problem. However, an assembly sequence from car manufacturer imposes a module assembly sequence on Tier-1 module suppliers since their assembly activities are synchronous and in sequence with assembly line of that car manufacturer. An imposed assembly sequence defines a certain demand rate for Tier-1 module suppliers and has significant impacts on operational cost of these suppliers which ultimately affects the overall modular supply chain efficiency. In this paper, a heuristic approach has been introduced to generate a supplier cognizant car sequence which does not only provide better operational conditions for Tier-1 module suppliers, but also satisfies constraints of the car manufacturer.
