| Abstract: | In this paper the authors address the problem of determining what rectangular sizes should be stocked in order to satisfy a bill of materials composed of smaller rectangles. As is common in many manufacturing operations, the stock material will be cut using two-staged guillotine cutting patterns. The authors first generate a large number of stock sizes ideally suited to the bill of materials. Then they use a facility location algorithm to consolidate the stock sizes down to an acceptable number. Given the solution of what rectangular sizes to stock, a second program is used to map bills of materials into the stock rectangles. |
