Theory and practice of cutting and packing problems

Abstract

The main objective in this project is the study of theoretical as well as practical aspects of cutting and packing problems (CCP). Basically, the cutting problem consists of determining the best way of cutting units of material (hereafter denominated objects), in order to produce a set of smaller units (items). Similarly to the cutting problem, the packing problem consists of determining the best way to arrange items into the objects. By theoretical aspects we mean the modeling of the problem, the development of solution methods, the identification of properties, the review/survey of the literature, and computational analysis. The practical aspects, besides including the phases of the theoretical part, are motivated by industrial applications, and consider data collection, model validation in practice, and development of user-friendly computational tools.Studies on CPP have been developed by a number of researchers in different educational/research institutions in São Paulo State, either jointly or independently. The aim of the present project is to integrate new research groups in this topic, exchanging different experiences and knowledge in order to produce high standard research, due to group synergy...
