Abstract

In this paper, we confront a variant of the cutting-stock problem with multiple objectives. The starting point is a solution calculated by a heuristic algorithm, termed SHRP, that aims to optimize the two main objectives, i.e. the number of cuts and the number of different patterns. Here, we propose a multi-objective genetic algorithm to optimize other secondary objectives such as changeovers, completion times of orders pondered by priorities and open stacks. We report experimental results showing that the multi-objective genetic algorithm is able to improve the solutions obtained by SHRP on the secondary objectives. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
