Abstract
Planner insight analytics identifies orders and sizes customers can execute to achieve business and operational efficiency. Generating optimal trimming patterns for trimming raw rolls and/or sheets of a flat sheet stock/customer orders includes: (a) receiving customer orders, primary and secondary machine specifications, warehouse inventory, and trade constraints; and (b) generating solutions for (i) order quantity fulfillment, (ii) a primary cutting pattern for the primary machine, (iii) a secondary cutting pattern for the secondary machine, and (iv) inventory details, wherein the solutions are generated with consideration of the initial trade constraints; (c) executing a batch and generating suggestions; (d) generating modified solutions for the parameters in step (b) using revised trade constraints derived from the suggestions generated that override the initial trade constraints in (c); and (e) operating a cutting apparatus. Trim optimization knapsack algorithm with objective function with term relating to trim loss which is eventually minimized is employed.
