CUT ORDER PLANNING FOR APPAREL MANUFACTURING

摘要

Cut order planning is the problem of planning the fabric cut for a set of apparel orders. Affiliated with each order is a set of garment sizes, and patterns for cutting each size. The fabric for cutting the order must be arranged on the cutting table so that cutting costs will be minimized. A mathematical model of the problem is developed and analyzed. On the basis of this analysis, solution approaches are developed which have been implemented on a desktop PC-based computer. Validated on representative industry problems, the approach is shown to be effective and versatile.
