Abstract

One can get an integer solution for the one-dimensional cutting stock problem by means of the constructive or residual heuristic. In this work we propose a change in the Constructive Greedy Heuristic that consists in building a cutting pattern by sorting in descending order the items of pair or odd length, priority being given to those which appear more frequently in the problem, cut from objects in stock with pair or odd length respectively, with the aim of minimizing the quantity of cut objects. Computing tests that were carried out showed the efficiency of the proposed heuristic when compared with other methods in the literature that generate an integer solution for the problem and will be presented at the end of this work.
