Cutting stock problems are within knapsack optimization problems and are considered as a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. In this paper, two-dimensional cutting stock problems were presented in which items and stocks were rectangular and cuttings were guillotine. First, a...

Sustainability in supply chain management addresses various challenges, from waste minimization to resource efficiency maximization. Two-dimensional cutting problems are common problems in most supply chains where small rectangular items need to be cut from large rectangular stock sheets to meet...
