ONE DIMENSIONAL CUTTING STOCK PROBLEM: AN APPLICATION ON A COMPANY

36348

In this paper, the problem which arises in many industries such as paper, glass, steel, metal, textile etc. and classified as a one-dimensional Multiple Stock Size Cutting Stock Problem by Wascher et al. (2007) is addressed. To solve this problem, a two stage approach is represented. In the first stage, alternative cutting patterns for each item and each stock size are generated through a heuristic procedure. These patterns are fed into the developed integer linear programming model in the second stage. The real life application of this problem is realized in a company operating in the stainless steel cold forming industry. The model determines cutting planes to fulfill periodic demands of all items with minimum trim loss.
