Re: [Help-glpk] Stock Cutting problem

This is a relatively small scale problem so it can be solved as the assignment of product pieces to stock pieces.  Appended below is a MathProg solution which you can cut and paste into http://MathP.org or http://www.nd.edu/~jeff/mathprog/mathprog.html for testing.  This solution uses indexed sets to enumerate the individual product and stock pieces of materials.

For the given data is no waste piece could be less than 1 meter, so it isn't necessary to consider the issue of minimizing small scrap. That could be handled with an additional binary variable for each piece of raw material, but wasn't necessary given the problem data. Another aspect is that minimizing the number of pieces cut leaves a lot of solution symmetries. The computation is faster by introducing weights, which has the nice side effect of producing a 'no-waste' solution for the given problem data.

Larger problems would require more care. In particular, stock cutting is often solved using a column generation.

How to solve stock cutting problem with multiple length stock available and demand is under.

 

Stock length available---

15 m – 3 Numbers

10 m – 3 Numbers

 

Demand---

7m – 3 Numbers

6m – 2 Numbers

4m – 6 Numbers

3m – 1 Number

 

How to solve it so that minimize wastage

 

We should utilize minimum number of stocks

If unused length is more than 0.5 m then we can utilize it for next cutting schedule and it is not wastage.

 

 

Thanks
