Container Loading Problems - A State-of-the-Art Review
Bortfeldt, Andreas; Wäscher, Gerhard - Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaft, … - 2012
Container loading is a pivotal function for operating supply chains efficiently. Underperformance results in unnecessary costs (e.g. cost of additional containers to be shipped) and in an unsatisfactory customer service (e.g. violation of deadlines agreed to or set by clients). Thus, it is not...

This paper focuses on the rectangular two …-dimensional cutting stock problem, where three-staged guillotine patterns are used, and the objective is to minimize the sum of plate and … cutting costs. The column generation framework is used to solve the problem. It uses a pattern-generation procedure to obtain …

A prototype column generation strategy for the multiple container loading problem
Zhu, Wenbin; Huang, Weili; Lim, Andrew - In: European Journal of Operational Research 223 (2012) 1, pp. 27-39
The multiple container loading cost minimization problem (MCLCMP) is a practical and useful problem in the transportation industry, where products of various dimensions are to be loaded into containers of various sizes so as to minimize the total shipping cost. The MCLCMP can be naturally...

A constraint programming approach for a batch processing problem with non-identical job sizes
Malapert, Arnaud; Guéret, Christelle; Rousseau, … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 221 (2012) 3, pp. 533-545
This paper presents a constraint programming approach for a batch processing machine on which a finite number of jobs of non-identical sizes must be scheduled. A parallel batch processing machine can process several jobs simultaneously and the objective is to minimize the maximal lateness. The...
