Abstract

We present a new solution approach for a problem that arises in the automobile industry: the withdrawal of colors from a line storage system such that the resulting number of color changes within the withdrawal sequence is minimized. We show that in a certain sense this problem is equivalent to the multiple sequence alignment problem known from molecular biology and present some preliminary computational results that indicate the applicability of our approach in practice.
