A Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a 2-D Irregular Strip Packing Problem

A Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a 2-D Irregular Strip Packing Problem

Two-Dimensional Irregular Strip Packing Problem is a classical cutting/packing problem. The problem is to assign, a set of 2-D irregular-shaped items to a rectangular sheet. The width of the sheet is fixed, while its length is extendable and has to be minimized. A sequence-based approach is developed and tested. The approach involves two phases; optimization phase and placement phase. The optim...

Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for a Supplier Clustering Problem

This paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with a clustering supplier problem in a supply chain system. During recent years, determining suitable suppliers in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. However, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. In general, many quantitative and qualitative factors, such as quality, price, and fl...
