Abstract: | The paper argues that existing approaches to container loading problems are each applicable only to a narrow part of the spectrum of situations encountered in practice and that there are many scenarios for which there are no adequate methodologies. A number of examples are given. Two approaches aimed at addressing some of the present limitations are discussed. One is designed to produce stable, evenly distributed packing patterns; the other caters for multi-drop loads. |
