Abstract
We consider a problem that arises in car production. In particular, we focus on the sorting of car bodies with respect to their designated enamel colors for a paint shop. Our objective is to sort a given car body sequence so that the number of color changes within the sorted sequence is minimized. Current technology is to perform the realignment of a sequence by the use of a line storage system.
