A GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL CUTTING STOCK PROBLEM WITH SETUPS

This paper investigates the one-dimensional cutting stock problem considering two conflicting objective functions: minimization of both the number of objects and the number of different cutting patterns used. A new heuristic method based on the concepts of genetic algorithms is proposed to solve the...
