Abstract

This paper addresses the two-dimensional bin packing problem with guillotine constraints. The problem requires a set of rectangular items to be cut from larger rectangles, known as bins, while only making use of edge-to-edge (guillotine) cuts. The goal is to minimize the total bin area needed to cut all required items. This paper also addresses variants of the problem which permit 90∘ rotation of items and/or a heterogeneous set of bins. A novel heuristic is introduced which is based on the ruin and recreate paradigm combined with a goal-driven approach. When applying the proposed heuristic to benchmark instances from the literature, it outperforms the current state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of solution quality for all variants of the problem considered.
