Abstract

In this paper, we suggest a genetic algorithm for optimizing the continuous cutting of cardboard plates, a common problem in the corrugated industry, where minimizing wastage of raw materials and meeting production deadlines are two priority objectives of production planning.

The solutions provided by a greedy algorithm are used as seeds for the genetic algorithm. It uses the one-point crossover operator.
