چکیده
It is very exciting to see how operations research methods and models can be implemented in various disciplines and areas of industry. In this paper, two integer programming (IP) models are proposed to solve the layout problem in the fashion industry. Before cutting, several layers of cloth are put on a cutting table and several templates, indicating how to cut all material for a specific size, are fixed on top of the stack. The problem consists of finding good combinations of templates and the associated stack heights of the cloth to satisfy demand while minimizing total excess production.
