Abstract
Applying combinatorial optimization in real life yields cost savings delighting the industry. Beyond that, at the core of some applications also lies a pretty (sub)problem rejoicing the mathematician. In our application coils of sheet metal are coated with k layers out of hundreds of colors. Coils are stapled together to run through k coaters, and non-productive time occurs e.g. when the color in a coater needs to be changed. Some coaters have two parallel tanks, enabling either parallel colors or cleaning of one tank during production. We present our sequencing and scheduling scheme in use at the plant today, lower bounds proving solution quality, and problems in the edge-wise union of interval graphs as a pretty mathematical subproblem.
