Program BLANKS on the IBM-PC (Microcomputer)

摘要

The report describes a computer program that allows a company to determine the number of edge-glued, standard-size blanks needed to satisfy the rough-part needs specified in a given cutting bill. Program BLANKS has been written in FORTRAN using 80 column card input for use on a mainframe computer. The program has been translated to BASICA for use on the IBM-PC. Also described are rough-part cutting bill input file creation and sorting programs. A sample rough-part cutting bill and a blanks analysis are included.
